The speed of light is 3 x 105 kilometers/second. If the sun is 1.5x 108 kilometers from Earth, how many seconds does it take light to reach the Earth? Several days 0.5 seconds 45000 seconds 8 minutes and 20 seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[c = \frac{ d }{ t } \implies t = \frac{ d }{ c }\] c is the speed of light, d is the distance of the sun from the earth, you're solving for t here :)

You need to distribute meaning multiply through, as such |dw:1440221377149:dw| I think this may be more clear.
