1. Solve using the five-step problem solving process. Show all steps necessary to arrive at your solution. Express the answer in scientific notation to three decimal places.
If the distance from the earth to the sun were 92,900,000 miles, how long would it take a rocket, travelling at 2.8 × 103 miles per hour, to reach the sun? (Round to three decimal places).
Solution:
Distance = 92,900,000 miles
Speed of rocket = 2.8 × 103 miles per hour
Time taken by the rocket = Distance/Speed = 92,900,000 miles/2.8 × 103 miles per hour
= ...
