In 10 seconds, the surface of the earth at the equator has moved 4,600 meters. How far has the surface moved in 150 seconds?(1 point) Responses 69,000 meters 69,000 meters 6,900,000 meters 6,900,000 meters 306.67 meters 306.67 meters 3.07 meters

Answer 1

To find the distance the surface of the earth has moved in 150 seconds, we can use a proportion:
10 seconds is to 4,600 meters as 150 seconds is to x meters.
Solving for x:

10/150 = 4,600/x

Cross multiplying:

10x = 150 * 4,600

10x = 690,000

Dividing both sides by 10:

x = 69,000 meters

Therefore, the surface of the earth has moved 69,000 meters in 150 seconds.
