Question

A scientist estimates that Mercury travels at a speed of 1x 10^5 miles per hour. She estimates that Saturn travels at a

speed of 2 x 10^4 miles per hour.
Based on the scientist's estimations, the speed of Mercury is how many times the speed of Saturn?

Answer 1

It is 5 times faster

Explanation:

I did the test

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

5 times faster

Explanation:

To find how many times faster Mercury is traveling compared to Saturn, we need to divide the speed of Mercury by the speed of Saturn:

(1 x 10^5) / (2 x 10^4) = 5

Therefore, the speed of Mercury is 5 times faster than the speed of Saturn according to the scientist's estimations.
