Answer: 44.89 times
Explanation:
Given that the earth's average velocity is about 6.7 times faster than that of planetoid Makemake
Given that the formula involved is:
R2/R1 = (V1/V2)^2
Let V1 = earth velocity and R1 = earth orbital distance
While R2 = Makemake velocity and R2 = orbital distance.
Since the earth's average velocity is about 6.7 times faster than that of planetoid Makemake, then,
V1/V2 = 6.7
Substitute this in the formula above
R2/R1 = (6.7)^2
R2/R1 = 44.89
Cross multiply
R2 = 44.89R1
Therefore, Makemake's orbit is about 44.89 times larger than the earth's orbit.
