(8 points)
A. At that rate, which expression could be used to determine the approximate number of
hours it would take the rocket to travel from Earth to Mars? _
B. How many hours would it take to travel from Earth to Mars? _
Expression:
(3.6x10^4) Divided by (3.39x10^7)
(3.6x10^4) - (3.39x10^7)
(3.6x10^4) x (3.39x10^7)
(3.39x10^7) Divided by (3.6x10^4)
(3.39x10^7) - (3.6x10^4)
(3.39x10^7) x (3.6x10^4)
