Answer:

distance = rate / time

In 60 minutes, light will travel 6.71 x 10^8 miles.

In (8.3 minutes / 60) it will travel the Earth Sun distance

8.3 / 60 = 0.1383333333

0.1383333333 * 6.71 x 10 ^ 8 = 92,800,000 miles equals

9.28 x 10 ^ 7 the Earth Sun distance which is also known as an Astronomical Unit

Answer:

≈0.92*[tex]10^{8}[/tex]  miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

It takes Light 8.3 minutes to reach the sun from earth. Then we convert the unit into hours:

  • 8.3: 60 = [tex]\frac{83}{600}[/tex] seconds

The speed of light is approximately 6.71 ×10 to the eighth power miles per hour

  • 6.71*[tex]10^{8}[/tex]

We know that  

Distance =  time x speed

               = [tex]\frac{83}{600}[/tex] * 6.71*[tex]10^{8}[/tex]

               ≈0.92*[tex]10^{8}[/tex]  miles
