Hi Baba,

Find the distance the earth travels in one day in its path around the sun. Assume that a year has 365 days and that the way of the Earth around the sun is a circle of radius 93 million miles. Round to one decimal place, which is the hundred thousand.

Find the circumference of the circular path of the Earth around the sun. Then find out what 1/365 of that distance is.

Don't forget the result will be in millions.
