Question

as Saturn revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 6 miles per second. convert this speed to miles per minute. at this speed how many miles will Saturn travel in 3 minutes? do not round

Answer 1

Given:

Speed = 6 miles per second

If the Saturn revolves 6 miles in 1 second then the speed is:

`\begin{gathered} In\text{ 1 second distance is 6 miles} \\ So\text{ in 60 second distance is =6}*60\text{ miles} \\ =360 \end{gathered}`

So speed in minutes is 360 miles per min.

In 3 minutes traveling distance is:

`\begin{gathered} =360*3 \\ =1080 \end{gathered}`
