A. At that rate, which expression could be used to determine the approximate number of hours it would take the rocket to travel from Earth to Mars? Response area.

B. How many hours would it take to travel from Earth to Mars? Response area

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to determine two things:

A. The expression that can be used to find the time it takes to travel from Earth to Mars can be represented as the distance divided by the speed. Therefore, the expression would be:

Response for A: \( \frac{3.39 \times 10^7 \text{ miles}}{3.6 \times 10^4 \text{ miles per hour}} \)

B. To find the approximate number of hours it would take, you can calculate using the expression from part A:

1. First, calculate the division of the two quantities:

\[ \frac{3.39 \times 10^7}{3.6 \times 10^4} \approx 9,416.67 \text{ hours} \]

So, rounding off, it would be approximately:

Response for B: 9,417 hours

In summary:

• A: \( \frac{3.39 \times 10^7}{3.6 \times 10^4} \)
• B: 9,417 hours
