QuestionComet A's orbit is 187 years, 17 times Comet B's. Find Comet B's orbit length.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The orbit of Comet A is187 years. The orbit of Comet A is17 times as long as the orbit of Comet B

STEP 2

We are asked to find the orbit of Comet B. We can do this by dividing the orbit of Comet A by17.
$Orbit\, of\, Comet\, B = Orbit\, of\, Comet\, A /17$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the orbit of Comet A to calculate the orbit of Comet B.
$Orbit\, of\, Comet\, B =187\, years /17$

STEP 4

Calculate the orbit of Comet B.
$Orbit\, of\, Comet\, B =187\, years /17 =11\, years$ The orbit of Comet B is11 years.
