As Saturn revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 6 miles per second. Convert this speed to miles per minute. At this speed, how many miles will Saturn travel in 3 minutes? Do not round your answers.

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

hey how are you i have not heard from you in a long time i will help you if i can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

this is very simple all you need to do is mutability 6 by 60 as the first step

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

then multiply your answer by 3 to get blank miles per 3 min.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey there Nadia. As you know, there are 60 seconds in a minute. So, to convert the speed of 6 mps to mpm, you will need to multiply the 6 and 60. That is going to give you a total of 360 miles per minute. Next step, is to multiply 360 by 3. Then, you should have your answer.

A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 198 feet per second. What is this speed in meters per second? At this speed, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 5 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers. I tried doing this one but i got it wrong can u help me anyone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pinklion23

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

yes Nadia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well. since there are 3 feet per meter, you can divide 198 by 3. for your first step

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

well do you know how many feet are in a meter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 66 ?

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

oh never mind then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

66 meters per second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol so what would the next step be

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

so mutiply 66 by 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, the question says that a meter is 3.3, so divide 198 by 3.3 and round.

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

yes because you must round

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got 60 thank you guys

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

i like @YesThisIsDog maybe i will tag you in some questions i have

OpenStudy (pinklion23):

OPPS DO NOT ROUND DO NOT ROUND I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY ROUND DO NOT ROUND

OpenStudy (anonymous):

youre not done Nadia. take that number you got, and multiply by 5. Thats how many meters he will fall in 5 seconds.
