Question

Nueva York dista de Los Angeles aproximadamente 3000 mi; la diferencia de tiempo entre estas dos ciudades es de 3 h. Calcule la circunferencia de la Tierra.

Answer 1

According to the data provided, the circumference of the Earth would be 24,000 miles.

How to calculate the circumference of the Earth?

To calculate the circumference of the Earth we must take into account the data provided, which are:

• Distance between Los Angeles and New York: 3,000 mi.
• Time between Los Angeles and New York: 3 hours.

Based on the above, we can establish that the relationship between miles and hours is 1,000 miles per hour.

So we can state that the length of a day (which is equivalent to the Earth's rotation), is 24 hours, is equivalent to 24,000 miles as shown below.

• $\frac{24 : 3000}{3}$ = 24,000 mi
