In 4 hours, a comet usually travels 8000 miles, how far will it travel in 10 hours
To find out how far the comet will travel in 10 hours, we can set up a proportion:
4 hours -> 8000 miles
10 hours -> x miles
We can cross multiply:
4 * x = 8000 * 10
4x = 80000
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 20000
Therefore, the comet will travel 20,000 miles in 10 hours.
To find out how far the comet will travel in 10 hours, we can set up a proportion.
Let's call the distance traveled in 10 hours "x" miles.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
4 hours / 8000 miles = 10 hours / x miles
To solve for x, we can cross multiply and then divide:
(4 hours)(x miles) = (8000 miles)(10 hours)
4x = 80000
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 80000 / 4
x = 20000
Therefore, the comet will travel 20000 miles in 10 hours.
To calculate the distance the comet will travel in 10 hours based on the information given, we need to find the comet's average speed.
First, we divide the distance traveled in 4 hours (8000 miles) by the time it took to travel that distance (4 hours):
Average Speed = Distance / Time
Average Speed = 8000 miles / 4 hours
Average Speed = 2000 miles per hour
Now that we know the comet's average speed (2000 miles per hour), we can use it to calculate the distance it will travel in 10 hours:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 2000 miles per hour x 10 hours
Distance = 20,000 miles
Therefore, the comet will travel 20,000 miles in 10 hours.
