Answer:

682,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the ratio of 186,000 miles per second:

\frac{miles}{second}=\frac{186,000}{1}

we can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to find the distance, in miles, from the earth to the moon

\frac{186,000}{1}=\frac{x}{\frac{11}{3}} where 'x' is the number of miles between the earth and the moon

Cross-multiply:  x = 186,000*\frac{11}{3}

Solve for x = 682,000 miles
