Question

As the Earth revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 18 miles per second. Convert this speed to kilometers per second. At this speed, how many kilometers will the Earth travel in 10 seconds? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

`(28.5km)/(sec)`

In 10 seconds the earth will travel 288 km

Explanation:

`(18miles)/(sec)` x
`(1.6km)/(1 mile)` =
`(28.8km)/(sec)`

`(28.8km)/(sec)` x
`(10sec)/(1)` = 288 km
