In hour fours a comet that is far from the sun usually travels 8000 miles. How far will the comet travel in 10 hours?
To find out how far the comet will travel in 10 hours, we need to calculate the distance traveled per hour and then multiply it by 10.
Since the comet travels 8000 miles in 4 hours, we divide 8000 by 4 to find the distance traveled per hour:
8000 miles ÷ 4 hours = 2000 miles per hour
Therefore, the comet will travel 2000 miles per hour.
To find out how far it will travel in 10 hours, we multiply the distance traveled per hour by the number of hours:
2000 miles/hour × 10 hours = 20,000 miles
Therefore, the comet will travel 20,000 miles in 10 hours.
