Question

In 4 hours, a comet usually travels 8000 miles, how far will it travel in 10 hours

Answer 1

To find out how far the comet will travel in 10 hours, we can set up a proportion:

4 hours -> 8000 miles
10 hours -> x miles

We can cross multiply:

4 * x = 8000 * 10

4x = 80000

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 20000

Therefore, the comet will travel 20,000 miles in 10 hours.
