As Mars revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 15 miles per second. Convert this speed to miles per minute. At this speed, how many miles will Mars travel in 3 minutes? Do not round your answers.

We know it travels as `15 miles per second` Now how many seconds are in a minute?

OpenStudy (lyssburleson):

60 so you would times that and get 900, right?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Correct :)

OpenStudy (lyssburleson):

and then times it by 3?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Yup ;)

OpenStudy (lyssburleson):

which would be 2,700. So that's the answer?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Yup :D That's exactly what I got.

OpenStudy (lyssburleson):

okay, thank you!
