As jupiter revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 8 miles per second. convert this speed to kilometers per second. at this speed, how many kilometers will jupiter travel in 5 seconds? in your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. do not round your answers.

The kilometers Jupiter travel in 5 seconds is 64 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

As Jupiter revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 8 miles per second.

1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers.

Now, to convert this speed to kilometers per second, and at this speed to find kilometers will Jupiter travel in 5 seconds.

So, to convert speed of miles per second into kilometres per second:

1 mile = 1.6 kilometres.

Thus, 8 miles = 8 × 1.6 = 12.8 kilometres per second.

Now, at this speed we calculate the kilometres Jupiter travel in 5 seconds by multiplying:

In 1 second Jupiter travel = 12.8 kilometres.

So, in 5 seconds Jupiter travel  

Therefore, the kilometers Jupiter travel in 5 seconds is 64 kilometers.
