You can put this solution on YOUR website! The average distance between the earth and the moon is 382,000,000 meters. Find an approximate value for the rate at which the moon orbits the earth. Assume that the moon's orbit is circular
=================
r = 382000000 meters
C = 2*pi*r
------
Divide C by the period, in days or hours or whatever you like, to find the speed.
