We are given

The largest telescope in the world is powerful enough to identify a penny that is 5 miles away

it means that

distance =5 miles

we can change it into yards

we know that

1 mile=1760 yards

$d=5\times 1mile$

we can replace 1 mile

$d=5\times 1760 yards$

$d=8800 yards$

So, distance in yards is 8800 yards..........Answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set this up to see if we can simplify it a bit:

$(\frac{10^4*5^2}{10^3*5^3})^3$

Notice we have 4 tens on top and 3 on bottom, so we can eliminate the bottom 3 altogether and leave just one on top. And we have 2 fives on the top and 3 on bottom, so we can eliminate the 2 on the top and leave one on the bottom. Now that looks like this:

$(\frac{10}{5})^3$
