  • Challenge Question #2

    This is Gabriel Brotman, one of the eagle team members from Mrs. Berger's 5th
    grade class.

    If the satellite goes around the Earth every 101 minutes, I think that it would
    be traveling at about 248.32 miles per minute.

    I think that the distance around the equator is 25,000 miles so I divided that
    by 101 to get distance per minute.
