Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1,000,000,000,000 miles / 100 miles per hour = 1 * 10^10 hours = 10,000,000,000 hours = 10 billion hours.
1 * 10^10 hours / 24 = 416,666,666.7 = 416 million 666 thousand 666.7 days.
416,666,666.7 / 365 = 1,141,552.511 = 1 million 141 thousand 552.511 years.
note that:
365 days in a year is assumed.
the real number of days in a year is not exactly that.
note also that:
if you divide days by 7 to get weeks and you divide weeks by 52 to get years, your number of days in a year will be equal to 7 * 52 = 364.
bottom line:
if you want your answer in number of hours, the answer will be 1 * 10^10 hours which is equal to 10 billion hours.
your answer in days will be exact since the number of hours in a day is always 24 according to our clocks.
your number of days in a year will be approximate and will be different depending on whether you assume number of days / 363 or you assume number of days / 7 for number of days in a week / 52 for number of weeks in a year.
