I need help with the math problem

Question

It takes earth about 365 days to orbit the sun it takes Uranus about 85 times as long right a numerical expression to describe the number of days it takes Uranus to orbit the sun

Answer 1

Hi Ashley,

A numerical expression is just a formula. So, since we know Uranus takes 85 times as long as Earth to orbit the sun, and the Earth takes ~365 days to orbit the sun, we can write that mathematically as: 85×365.

Answer 2

U days Uranus

E days earth, 365

 

U= 85x E

U= 85x 365= 31,025 earth days

 

It might be more meaningful to Uranus to specify in hours or seconds but the questions says days.
