Question

scientists are preparing two satellites to be launched. the satellite, space explorer a, flies 216,000 miles in 24 hours, while the satellite, space explorer b, flies 167,200 miles in 22 hours. use the dropdown menu and answer - blank below to form a true statement. answer attempt 1 out of 2 space explorer a travels \boxed{} miles than space explorer b in one hour. submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate speed of A

Speed = Distance / Time. For A: $\frac{216000}{24} = 9000$ mph.

Step2: Calculate speed of B

For B: $\frac{167200}{22} = 7600$ mph.

Step3: Find difference

Subtract B's speed from A's: $9000 - 7600 = 1400$. So A is faster by 1400.

Answer:

1400, faster
