To determine how far the comet will travel in 10 hours, we can set up a proportion.
If the comet travels 8,000 miles in 4 hours, then it travels x miles in 10 hours.
Using the proportion:
8,000 miles / 4 hours = x miles / 10 hours
Cross-multiplying, we get:
4 * x = 8,000 * 10
4x = 80,000
x = 80,000 / 4
x = 20,000
Therefore, the comet will travel 20,000 miles in 10 hours.
If the comet travels 8,000 miles in 4 hours, then it travels x miles in 10 hours.
Using the proportion:
8,000 miles / 4 hours = x miles / 10 hours
Cross-multiplying, we get:
4 * x = 8,000 * 10
4x = 80,000
x = 80,000 / 4
x = 20,000
Therefore, the comet will travel 20,000 miles in 10 hours.
