Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. Calculate the distance of one light year in feet.

3.142656 × 10^16 feet

Explanation: Given that the

Speed = 982,080,000 ft/s, and

Time = 32,000,000 seconds

The formula for speed is:

Speed = distance/ time

Make distance the subject of formula

Since the time is second in one year and speed is ft/s, substitute both into the formula

Distance = speed × time

distance = 982,080,000 × 32,000,000

Distance = 3.142656 × 10^16 feet.

The distance of one light year in feet is 3.142656 × 10^16

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
