Light travels at a speed of 1.86 x 10^5 miles per second. if a light year is the distance that light travels in one year how many miles are in a light year?

5.865696x10^12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: To calculate how many seconds are in 1 year.

Suppose our year is a non-leap year.

We know there are 365 days in 1 non-leap year, there are 24 hours in 1 day, there are 60 minutes in 1 hour and every minute has 60 seconds.

So,

The number of seconds in 1 non-leap year= 1*365*24*60*60 seconds

The number of seconds in 1 non-leap year= 31,536,000 seconds

Or

The number of seconds in 1 non-leap year=3.1536x10^7 seconds

Step 2: To calculate the distance traveled by light in 1 non-leap year.

We know,

Distance traveled = speed x time

So,

The distance traveled by light in 1 non-leap year= 1.86 x 10^5 x 3.1536x10^7

The distance traveled by light in 1 non-leap year= 5.865696x10^12 miles

Similarly we can find the distance traveled by light in 1 leap year taking 366 days in an year.

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
