Question

one year on venus is equivalent to 224.7 days on earth. how many days on earth, in decimal form, are equivalent to 9\frac{1}{2} years on venus?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert the mixed - number to decimal

$9\frac{1}{2}=9.5$

Step2: Calculate the number of Earth days

Multiply the number of Venus years (in decimal) by the number of Earth days in one Venus year. So, $9.5\times224.7$.
$9.5\times224.7=(10 - 0.5)\times224.7=10\times224.7-0.5\times224.7=2247 - 112.35 = 2134.65$

Answer:

$2134.65$
