To find out how far the comet will travel in 10 hours, we need to find the rate at which it travels per hour and multiply it by 10.
If in 4 hours, the comet travels 8,000 miles, we can divide the total distance traveled (8,000 miles) by the number of hours it took (4 hours) to find the rate at which it travels per hour.
8000 miles ÷ 4 hours = 2000 miles/hour
Now, we can take the rate of 2000 miles/hour and multiply it by the number of hours (10) to find the total distance traveled in 10 hours.
2000 miles/hour × 10 hours = 20,000 miles
Therefore, the comet will travel 20,000 miles in 10 hours.
In 4 hours, a comet that is far from the sun usually travels 8,000 miles. How far will the comet travel in 10 hours?(1 point)
