Forever, good start. But what's the point of your question? What are you being asked to do?

Answer 2

sorry didnt write the whole question The distance from the sun to the Andromeda galaxy is 1.2 x 10^19 miles. Light travels at a speed of 5.88 x 1012 miles
per year (called a light-year). How long does it take light to travel from the sun to the Andromeda galaxy?

Answer 3

1012 is 10^12 right?

Answer 4

yea it is

Answer 5

Recall the following: distance traveled = rate of travel * time.
In this problem you want the time required.
Solve this formula for time:
\[time=\frac{ distance }{ rate }=\frac{ distance }{ speed }\]
