Question

Suppose it takes 3 days for a space vehicle to travel from earth to the moon. About how long would it take the same vehicle traveling at the same speed to reach venus?

Closest distance from earth to moon is 240,000 miles.

Closest distance from earth to venus is 26,000,000 miles.

The space vehicle would take about ______ days to reach venus

Answer 1

The space vehicle would take about 325 days to reach venus

Earth to moon

distance = 240,000 miles

Time= 3 days

so the speed must be 80000

since speed = distance / time

Earth to venus

distance = 26,000,000 miles

Time = ?

Speed = 80000

so  80000 = 26000000 / ?

and ? time is equal to 325 days

Answer 2

325 days

earth > moon = 3

26,000,000 divided by 240000 = 108.3333333333333333

108.3333333333333 multiplied by 3 = 325 days

Answer 3

325 days?????? I think.

Answer 4

325

Answer 5

Problems like this may be solved using ratio and proportion.

Let: x = the number of days it would take to reach Venus from Earth.

Equation:

x / 26,000,000 = 3 / 240,000

Cross-multiply:

x = (3 / 240,000) * 26,000,000

Now, get your calculator, punch in these data, and have your answer.

Answer 6

Distance = Rate x Time

Change everything to millions to make it simpler.

240,000 miles = 0.24 million miles

26,000,000 miles = 26 million miles

Earth to the Moon

0.24 million miles = rate x 3 days

rate = 0.24 ÷ 3 = 0.08 million miles / day

Earth to Venus

26 million miles = 0.08 million miles / day x ? Days

26 ÷ 0.08 = 325 days

Answer 7

240,000 miles / 3 days = 80,000 miles per day

26,000,000 / 80,000 miles per day = 325 days

Answer 8

ok im not 100% sure on it but what i would do is divide 26,000,000 miles by 240,000 miles and then multiply that by 3 days. my logic here is that if the space vehicle travels 240,000 miles in 3 days then we should try and figure out how many times 240,000 miles goes into 26,000,000. when i did that basically the answer i got was:

325 days

but then you didnt mention if it was starting from the earth or the moon beause if it starts from the moon to venus then you would have to subract the distance already traveled

i hope this is right best of luck!

Answer 9

yah 325 days.

240,000 miles in 72 hours is 3333.33 miles per hour.

26,000,000 divided by 3333.33 is a number, divide that by 24 hours and you get 325.0035.

Answer 10

im not sure 220

Answer 11

325 days roughly? i may have done the math wrong though. been a while since i was in high school lol
