Question

As Jupiter revolves around the sun, it travels at a rate of approximately 8 miles per second. Convert this rate to kilometers per second. At this rate, how many kilometers will Jupiter travel in 2 seconds? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

8 mi/s = 12.8 km/s
At this rate, in 2 seconds Jupiter will travel 25.6 km.

Answer 2

Jupiter goes 8 miles per second. 1.6 x 8 = 12.8 kilometers.
Jupiter travels 12.8 km in a second.
In 2 seconds Jupiter will travel 25.6 km.
