Question

Calculate how many meters of distance are equivalent to 11,700 years, using the metaphor-conversion-factor of 1,000,000 years per kilometer. In other words, if 1,000 meters = 1,000,000 years, how many meters is 11,700 years?

Answer 1

11.7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If

`1000m=1,000,000years,`

let the unknown meters =
`x`

`x`meters
`=11,700 years`

∴

`1000 * 11,700 = 1,000,000x`

`11,700,000` =
`1,000,000x`

Divide both sides by 1,000,000

`(11,700,00)/(1,000,000) = (1,000,000x)/(1,000,000)`

`x =` 11.7 meters
