Answer: We know that sound travels about 343 meters per second. To convert the distance in meters to miles, we need to use the conversion factor that there are 3.28 feet in a meter and 5280 feet in a mile.
1 mile = 5280 feet = 5280/3.28 meters = 1600 meters
Therefore, the distance in miles from Alyssa to the lightning bolt can be calculated by dividing the distance in meters by the number of meters per mile:
distance in miles = distance in meters/1600
So, the distance in miles from Alyssa to the lightning bolt is 343 meters/1600 miles = 0.215 miles (approx)
Note that this calculation is based on the assumption that sound travels 343 meters per second and it's an approximation.
