Let’s assume the following given:
Speed = 129 m/s
Time = 2,900,000 s
Find:
Distance = ?
Solution:
In order to get the distance, we multiply speed and time.
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 129 m/s * 2,900,000 s
Distance = 374,100,000 m
Next, we will convert the distance from meters to kilometers
by dividing the distance with 1,000 m.
374,100,000 m / 1,000 m = 374,100 km
The last step would be converting the travelled distance in
kilometers to the nearest ten thousand.
Therefore, the travelled distance in kilometers to the nearest ten thousand is
370,000 km.
