Answer:
682,000 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the ratio of 186,000 miles per second:
we can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to find the distance, in miles, from the earth to the moon
where 'x' is the number of miles between the earth and the moon
Cross-multiply: x = 186,000*
Solve for x = 682,000 miles
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. For example, 13 is a prime number because the only factors of 13 are 1 and 13. The number 8 is not prime because it has four factors: 1, 2, 4 and 8. The number 1 is not a prime number because it only has one factor (itself).
