Answer:

Explanation:

What you can do in this case is the following rule of three to find the result:

1 light year ---> 5.88 * 10 ^ 12 miles

3.2 * 10 ^ 2 light year ---> x

Clearing x we have:

x = ((3.2 * 10 ^ 2) / (1)) * (5.88 * 10 ^ 12)

x = 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles

answer:

In scientific notation, approximately it is 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles
