A particular asteroid moves at a speed of 55,000 miles per hour . How many hours will it take the asteroid to travel a distance of 4.62x 10^5 miles ?

8.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of asteroid = 55000 miles/hr

Distance traveled by asteroid = 4.62 miles

We are required to find here how many hours the asteroid will take to travel the given distance with the given speed.

Formula for speed can be given as following:

OR, the formula for time in terms of speed and distance can be given as following:

Putting the given values in the formula to find the Time:

since proposition states that a number is greater than 25, if is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted
