The correct answer is 690,000 meters. To find this, you can multiply the distance moved in 10 seconds (4,600 meters) by the number of 10-second intervals in 150 seconds (150/10 = 15). So, 4,600 meters * 15 = 69,000 meters.
To find out how far the surface of the Earth has moved in 150 seconds, we first need to calculate the distance the surface moves in one second.
Let's set up a proportion:
10 seconds = 4,600 meters
1 second = ?
To find the distance in one second, we divide 4,600 meters by 10 seconds:
4,600 meters / 10 seconds = 460 meters/second
To find how far the surface moves in 150 seconds, we multiply the distance in one second by 150:
460 meters/second * 150 seconds = 69,000 meters
So, the surface of the Earth has moved 69,000 meters in 150 seconds.
To determine how far the surface of the Earth has moved in 150 seconds, we need to use the given information that the surface moves 4,600 meters in 10 seconds.
First, we can determine how many sets of 10 seconds there are in 150 seconds. To do this, we divide 150 by 10:
150 seconds / 10 seconds = 15 sets of 10 seconds
Next, we can calculate the total distance the surface has moved in 150 seconds by multiplying the distance covered in 10 seconds (4,600 meters) by the number of sets of 10 seconds (15):
4,600 meters * 15 sets of 10 seconds = 69,000 meters
Therefore, the correct answer is 69,000 meters.
