Question

The distance from the surface of the earth to the moon is approximately 3.8 * 10 to the 5th km. How many days would a distance like that take if you were driving at 120mi/h

Answer 1

82 days would take a distance like that, if we drive at 120 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from Earth to moon is 3.8×10⁵ km

You drive at a speed of 120 mi/h

Let's convert the 120 mi/h to km/h

1 mi = 1.61 km

Then 120 mi . 1.61 km / 1mi = 193.2 km

New velocity is 193.2 km. Therefore,

193.2 km are driven in 1 hour

3.8×10⁵ km woul be driven in (3.8×10⁵ . 1)/ 193.2 = 1966.8 hours

1967 hours . 1 day / 24 hours = 82 days
