You can put this solution on YOUR website! if it takes three days to travel to the moon(which is 240,000 mi away), how long will it take to reach Venus(which is 26,000,000 mi away)?
------------------------
240000 miles/3 days = 26000000 miles/ d days
26000000/d = 80000
d = 26000000/80000
d = 325 days

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello!
This question can be solved using a ratio of proportions.
Let's say we are solving for "x," or how many days it will take to reach Venus. We know that it takes 3 days to travel 240,000 miles to the moon, so we can say the ratio of time to distance is 3:240,000.
We need to find time in the next equation, so we can say x:26,000,000.
Now we can set the two equations equal to each other (given it's a ratio).
3:240,000 = x:26,000,000
Now, we can cross multiply.
240,000 times x = 26,000,000 times 3
(Multiply 26,000,000 by 3)
240,000x = 78,000,000
Then we divide 78,000,000 by 240,000.
FINALLY.
x = 325
It would take 325 days to get to Venus.
I hope that helps!
