In the future, a spaceship has traveled three percent of the distance to a space station. If the ship has traveled 2.9 x 10^7 miles so far, how much further does the ship have to travel to its destination?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]9.38 * 10^8 miles[/tex]

Explanation:

The spaceship has traveled 3% of the distance to a space station and it has traveled [tex]2.9 * 10^7[/tex] miles.

Let the total distance from the ship's starting point to the space station be x.

This means that:

[tex]\frac{3}{100} * x = 2.9 * 10^7\\\\=> x = \frac{2.9 * 10^7 * 100 }{3} \\\\x = 9.67 * 10^8 miles[/tex]

The total distance to be traveled is [tex]9.67 * 10^8 miles[/tex].

Therefore, the distance left to travel is:

[tex]9.67 * 10^8 - 2.9 * 19^7\\\\= 9.38 * 10^8 miles[/tex]
