Answer:
Distance from the moon is 2.4 × 10⁵ miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of 1-inch paperclip = miles
Number of paperclips used to reach the moon = 1.5 × 10¹⁰
Total distance from the moon = Number of paper clips used × Length of one clip
= (1.5 × 10¹⁰) × (1.6 × 10⁻5)
= (1.5 × 1.6) (10¹⁰× 10⁻⁵)
= 2.4 × 10⁽¹⁰⁻⁵⁾ miles
= 2.4 × 10⁵ miles
Distance from the moon is 2.4 × 10⁵ miles.
