QUESTION:
In a well-known Jules Verne novel, Phileas Fogg travels around the world in 80 days. What was Mr. Fogg's approximate average speed during his adventure?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Mr. Phileas Fogg travels around the world in 80 days and we are going to find the average speed of his journey.
The time taken t = 80 days = 80 x 24 x 60 x 60 s
The radius of Earth R = km
The distance covered by him is nothing but the circumference of the Earth (2R).
