PLEASE HELP !!!!!! The time between a flash of lightning and the sound of its thunder can be used to estimate the distance from a lightning strike. The distance from the strike is the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the thunder divided by 5. Suppose you are 17 miles from a lightning strike. Write and solve an equation to find how many seconds there would be between the flash and thunder.
