40 POINTS!!! Astronomers measure large distances in light-years. One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year, or approximately 5.88 × 10^12 miles. Suppose a star is 3.2 × 10^2 light-years from Earth. In scientific notation, approximately how many miles is it?

Answer:

1.88×10^15

Explanation:

3.2*10^2 LY ( 5.88*10^12 mi/LY)

= 18.8 * 10^14 mi

= 1.88 * 10^15 mi
