The distance from Mars to Mercury is 1701*10^8 kilometers. How long would it take to rocket traveling at 3.59*10^4 kilometers per hour to travel from Mars to Mercury? Round your answer to the nearest whole number of hours.
To find out how long the rocket would take to travel from Mars to Mercury, we can divide the distance by the speed of the rocket:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 1701*10^8 km / 3.59*10^4 km/h
Time = 4.74*10^4 hours
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the rocket would take approximately 47,400 hours to travel from Mars to Mercury.
