Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. light takes about 11⁄3 seconds to travel from the earth to the moon. calculate the distance between the earth and the moon based on the speed of light.

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

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
