Beautiful ! What a great exercise ! I won't even check to verify
that 1:10⁻¹⁹ is an appropriate scale to map the Milky Way onto a
football field. I'll just accept it and go from there.
(4.4 light years) x (10⁻¹⁹) = (2.5848 x 10¹³ miles) x (10⁻¹⁹)
= 2.5848 x 10⁻⁶ mile
= 0.164 inch .
(1,391,400 kilometers) x (10⁻¹⁹) = 1.3914 x 10⁻¹⁰ meter
Research Conclusions:
If the Milky Way shrinks to fit on a football field, then
-- Alpha Centauri is 0.164 inch from us.
-- The sun's diameter is about 1.39 times that of a Hydrogen atom.
Playing with this same fun concept a little more:
-- The Earth is sailing around in its orbit, once a year,
about 0.000015 millimeter from the sun.
-- It takes light almost 27 years to travel 1 inch !
wow !
- the number 0 — additive identity
- a(b+c) = ab+ac — the distributive property
- an equation containing more than one variable — literal equation
- the number 1 — multiplicative identity
- the reciprocal of a number — multiplicative inverse
If x ≠ 0, then 1/x is its multiplicative inverse — true.
The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 — true.
Answer: Distributive Property
The answer is A: 3 feet; this answer can be obtained by finding the zeros of the equation above.
