Question

14. The Earth is about 250,000 miles from the moon. If you travel at a speed of 3500 miles per hour, how many weeks will it take you to get there?

a) 0.43 weeks
b) 0.54 weeks
c) 54.9 weeks
d) 1.0 week

Answer 1

(c) 54.9 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to divide the distance to the moon by the speed of your travel. This will give you the number of hours it will take you to reach the moon. Then, you can divide the number of hours by the number of hours in a week (which is 7) to find the number of weeks it will take you to reach the moon.

So, to find the number of weeks it will take you to reach the moon, you can do the following calculation:

(250,000 miles) / (3,500 miles/hour) = 71.43 hours

71.43 hours / (7 hours/week) = 10.2 weeks

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 54.9 weeks.
