Answer:

It would take sound 104.998 seconds to travel across lake tahoe.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's convert the miles to meters, so, 21.6 miles = 34754.4 meters

Now, we will divide this number in meters by 331. So, 34754.4 / 331 = 104.998

And what will the unit be? Seconds will be the unit for time here so 104.998 seconds.
