Answer:

About 1080 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If the earth spins 25,922 miles everyday (24 hours) then is would spin about 1080 miles per hour.

25 922 miles / 24

24 divided by 24 to get 1 ( 1 hour)

*if we divided 24 by 24 then we do the same to 25 922 (to make it equivalent)

25 922 divided by 24 = 1080.083333333333.

So, 1080 mph or 1080 miles / 1 hour

I hope this helped :)
