Question

As Venus revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 22 miles per second. Convert this speed to miles per minute. At this speed, how many miles will Venus travel in 5 minutes? Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

1 miles = 1.6 km
22 miles/second × 1.6 km/mile = 35.2 km/second

Answer 2

Heya!!
___________________

Speed in miles per second = 22 mps

For converting into miles per minute, we just need to convert seconds into minutes by dividing it by 60.

so, speed in miles per minute = 22 / (1/60) = (22 × 60 )miles / 1min. = 1320 miles per minute.

= = = = = = = = = = = =

Now, Distance travelled in 1 minute = 1320 miles.

Hence, Distance travelled in 5 minutes = 1320 × 5
= 6600 miles.
