The time between lightning flash and the following thunderclap may be used to estimate, in kilometers, how far away a storm is. How far away is a storm if 12 seconds elapse between the lightning and the thunderclap? Use the formula d = t/3, where t is the time, in seconds, between the flash and the thunderclap.

PLEASE HELP!! I will give 20 points!!

All you have to do is take t, the 12 seconds, and divide it by two. 12 / 3 = 4. The answer is 4 km
