Light travels at a speed of about 1.9 times 10E6 miles per second. Suppose a spaceship is able to travel at the speed of light. If the distance around Earth along the equator is about 2.5 times 10E5 miles, how many times could the spaceship travel around the Earth in 1 second? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
