A location on Earth’s equator moves approximately 2.075 miles in 2 hours because of Earth’s rotation on its axis. At this rate, how far approximately does this location rotate in 1 day? (2 hours = 1/12 day)

Respuesta :

The location rotates 24.9 miles in 1 day

It is a method in which one finds the value of a unit from the value of a number of units and the value of a number of units from the value of a  unit.

In the unit method, we always count the value of a unit or quantity first, and then we calculate the value of more or less quantities. This is why this method is called the unitary method.

Earth equator moves 2.075 miles in 2 hours, We need to find how far does this location rotate in 1 day

Using Unitary Method

2 hours = 2.075 miles

1 hour = 2.075/2 mile

1 hour = 1.0375 mile

1 day = 24 hours

24 hours = 1.0375 *24

= 24.9 miles

The location rotates 24.9 miles in 1 day
