The distance from a lightning bolt is directly proportional to the time elapsed between seeing the lightning bolt and hearing the be thunder. Thus, if you hear the thunder 7 seconds after you see the lightning bolt, then you are 1.5 miles away from the bolt. How far away is the bolt if you hear the thunder 2 seconds after you see the bolt?
