...would it take? the same vehicle traveling at the same speed to reach Uranus?
Moon: 240,000 miles
Uranus: 1,790,000,000 miles
240,000 divided by 3 days = 80,000 miles per day
Convert 1,790,000,000 to scientific notation = 1.79
(1.79 x 10^9) divided by (8 x 10^4) = 0.22375
0.22375 x 10^5 = 22^4
The space vehicle would take about 22 x 10^4 days to Uranus.
(Round to the nearest whole number. Use scientific notation.)
Is my work above correct? If not can someone kindly explain what I did wrong?
Thank you.
