Question

Barnard’s Star is a red dwarf. It is located 5.9 light years from Earth. (One light year is the same as 9.46 trillion kilometers.) This distance in kilometers is how many trillion kilometers is it?

Answer 1

Answer: 55.814 trillion kilometers

Explanation:       $\frac{d}{5.9 light\\years} \frac{9.46 trillion kilometers}{1 light year}$

d (1 light year) = 9.46 trillion kilometers (5.9 light years)

d (1) = 9.46 trillion kilometers (5.9)

d = 55.814 trillion kilometers

Answer 2

A star is located 5.9 light years from Earth.
We know that : 1 light year = 9.46  trillion kilometers.
We will calculate the distance in trillion kilometers multiplying the number of light years by 9.46:
5.9 * 9.46 = 55.814
Answer: The distance is 55.814 trillion km.
