PLZ HELP!
The distances in space are measured in light-years. The distance from Earth to a star is 5.9 × 1013 kilometers. What is the distance, in light-years, from Earth to the star (1 light-year = 9.46 × 1012 kilometers)?


1.61 light-years

3.56 light-years

5.58 light-years

6.23 light-years

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.23 light years.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 light years=9.46*10^12 kilometers

Distance from the Earth to a star=5.9*10^13 km

Distance in light years=

$\frac{5.9 \times {10}^{13} }{9.46 \times {10}^{12} }$

On solving we get, distance=6.23 light years
