Answer 1

Answer:

  2.48×10^13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are about (365.25 days)(86400 seconds/day) = 31,557,600 seconds in one year. There are 1609.344 meters in one mile. So, the conversion can be written as ...

  (4.22 ly) (3×10^8 m/s) (3.15576×10^7 s/yr) / (1.609344×10^3 m/mi)

  = 4.22×3×3.15576/1.609344×10^(8+7-3) mi

  ≈ 24.8×10^12 mi

4.22 light years is about 2.48×10^13 miles
