Question

1. one year on venus is equivalent to 224.7 days on earth. how many days on earth, in decimal form, are equivalent to 1 1/2 years on venus?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert the mixed - number of Venus years to a decimal.

The mixed - number $9\frac{1}{2}$ can be written as $9 + \frac{1}{2}=9.5$ in decimal form.

Step2: Use the conversion factor.

Since 1 Venus year is equivalent to 224.7 Earth - days, to find the number of Earth - days for 9.5 Venus years, we multiply the number of Venus years by the conversion factor. So the number of Earth - days $N = 9.5\times224.7$.

Step3: Perform the multiplication.

$N=9.5\times224.7 = 2134.65$.

Answer:

2134.65
