  1. Calculate Saige's spaceship speed: Calculate the speed of Saige's spaceship.\newlineSpeed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. Saige's spaceship traveled 588km588\,\text{km} in 60s60\,\text{s}.\newlineSpeed == Distance // Time\newlineSpeed =588km60s= \frac{588\,\text{km}}{60\,\text{s}}\newlineSpeed =9.8km/s= 9.8\,\text{km/s}
  2. Calculate first trip speed: Calculate the speed of the first spaceship trip (441km441 \, \text{km} in 45s45 \, \text{s}).\newlineSpeed == Distance // Time\newlineSpeed =441km/45s= 441 \, \text{km} / 45 \, \text{s}\newlineSpeed =9.8km/s= 9.8 \, \text{km/s}\newlineThis speed is the same as Saige's spaceship speed.
  3. Calculate second trip speed: Calculate the speed of the second spaceship trip (215km215 \, \text{km} in 25seconds25 \, \text{seconds}).\newlineSpeed =DistanceTime= \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\newlineSpeed =215km25s= \frac{215 \, \text{km}}{25 \, \text{s}}\newlineSpeed =8.6km/s= 8.6 \, \text{km/s}\newlineThis speed is not the same as Saige's spaceship speed.
  4. Calculate third trip speed: Calculate the speed of the third spaceship trip (649km649 \, \text{km} in 110s110 \, \text{s}).\newlineSpeed =DistanceTime= \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\newlineSpeed =649km110s= \frac{649 \, \text{km}}{110 \, \text{s}}\newlineSpeed =5.9km/s= 5.9 \, \text{km/s}\newlineThis speed is not the same as Saige's spaceship speed.
