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.
hey how are you i have not heard from you in a long time i will help you if i can
okay thank you
this is very simple all you need to do is mutability 6 by 60 as the first step
then multiply your answer by 3 to get blank miles per 3 min.
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.
i got 1,080 is that correct ?
yes you got it!
Yep :)
yup its 1,080
looks like you do not need to round anything!
thank you so much please give each other medals since i can't give more than one person a medal :)
can i get a medal :)
i gave you one @pinklion23
yeah! i gave one to @YesThisIsDog and thank you @andrewhaze
hey @YesThisIsDog maybe you should give one to @andrewhaze
Sure, why not. Next time @andrewhaze Dont give the direct answer :)
thx @YesThisIsDog and ok
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
@pinklion23
yes Nadia
Well. since there are 3 feet per meter, you can divide 198 by 3. for your first step
well do you know how many feet are in a meter
i got 66 ?
oh never mind then
66 meters per second.
lol so what would the next step be
so mutiply 66 by 5
well, the question says that a meter is 3.3, so divide 198 by 3.3 and round.
yes because you must round
okay i got 60 thank you guys
i like @YesThisIsDog maybe i will tag you in some questions i have
OPPS DO NOT ROUND DO NOT ROUND I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY ROUND DO NOT ROUND
youre not done Nadia. take that number you got, and multiply by 5. Thats how many meters he will fall in 5 seconds.
