Where the heck did x come from!
Answer: 52,416,000 km
Step-by-step explanation:
If a comet travels 273,000 km/hr
1) Multiply 273,000 km by 24 hours to find how far the comet travels in one day
2) multiply the answer from 1 by 8 to determine how far it travels in 8 days
1) * = (hours cancel out)
2)*8 day= 52,416,000 km in 8 days
The comet approximately travelled 52,416,000km from when it began to travel to when it reached Earth. Hope this helped :)
QR =12 because you set up a proportion 21/14=x/8 then cross multiply and get 14x=168 then you divide and get 12
