Mercury's orbit around the Sun is roughly a distance of 223,679,248 miles and take about 88 days to complete.Write a unit rate of speed that describes how far Mercury moves in a day

Respuesta :

We are given

Distance =223,679,248 miles

so, we get

[tex]D=223,679,248 miles[/tex]

Total time to complete is 88 days

so, we get

[tex]T=88 days[/tex]

now, we can find speed

we know that

speed = distance / time

[tex]s=\frac{D}{T}[/tex]

now, we can plug values

and we get

[tex]s=\frac{223679248}{88}[/tex]

[tex]s=2541809.6363mile/day[/tex].............Answer
