Some people say that if you want to know how far away a storm is, you count the number of

seconds between seeing the lightning and hearing the noise of the thunder. Sounds travels at
1.129 feet per second. How far away is a storm if the time between the lightning and the thunder
is 8 seconds?

1.129 + 8 = 9.129

1.129*8 = 9.032
