Question

had a hard time with this problem, ill fan and and medal

Answer 1

The distances in space are measured in light-years. The distance from Earth to a star is 5.9 × 10^13 kilometers. What is the distance, in light-years, from Earth to the star (1 light-year = 9.46 × 10^12 kilometers)?

1.61 light-years
3.56 light-years
5.58 light-years
6.23 light-years

Answer 2

\[1 light year=9.46*10^{12}km\]
then
\[?light year=5.9*10^{13}km\]
So
\[?=5.9*10^{13}/(9.46*10^{12})\]
=16.81 light years
