To find out how far the comet will travel in 10 hours, you can set up a proportion using the information given.
The comet travels 8,000 miles in 4 hours.
Let's set up the proportion:
(8,000 miles / 4 hours) = (x miles / 10 hours)
To solve for x, you can cross multiply:
4 * x = 8,000 * 10
4x = 80,000
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:
x = 20,000
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)%0D%0A miles
