Question

Distances in space are measured in light-years. The distance from Earth to a star is 4.1 × 1013 kilometers. What is the distance, in light-years, from Earth to the star (1 light-year = 9.46 × 1012 kilometers)? (5 points)

0.23 light-year

2.36 light-years

4.33 light-years

5.36 light-years

Answer 1

5.36 light years

Explanation:

if a light-year = 9.46 x 1012

9.46 x 1012 = 9512.8

4.1 x 1013 = 4153.3

After that you would subtract

9512.8 - 4152.3 = 5.360.5

the real answer is 5.36 light years

So the distance in light years from earth is 5.36 light years

Hope this helps
