Question 270703: I'm not sure I got to the correct answer here as I always have trouble with verbal exercises. Now, it says:
a) Earth completes its 5.85 x 10^8 -mile orbit around the sun in 365 days. Find the distance traveled per day.
I tried 5.85 x 10^8 / 365 and it gave me 1602739.726.
Please help?
PS. ^ = exponent.
