Earth's Average Speed: Calculating its Orbit around the Sun

[Nixon]

The Earth moves around the sun in a nearly circular orbit of 1.50 x 10m ^ 11

During the three summer months (an elasped time of 7.89 x 10s^6) the Earth moves 1/4 the distance around the sun.

What is the average speed of the Earth?

If this is a homework question it should be posted in the homework forum, i think someone will come and move it.

Well if you use average speed = distance/time taken you will come up with the answer.

You will also need a slice of pi.
