Traveling at approximately 186,000 miles per second, about how many miles does a beam of light travel in 2 hours?

F. 3.72 x 10^5
G. 2.23 x 10^6
H. 2.67 x 10^7
J. 6.70 x 10^8
K. 1.34 x 10^9

well, how many seconds in 2 hours?

7200 x 186000 = 1339200000

what we do next is round 9 units to the left, which leaves us with 1.34. Scientific notation. Final answer is 1.34 x 10^9. K.

There are 7200 seconds in 2 hours. 2 x 60 x 60

Well, let me do some quick math here... *puts on oversized clown glasses and starts fumbling with a calculator*

Alright, so the speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second. And we want to find out how many miles it travels in 2 hours. So, to figure that out, we need to multiply the speed of light by the number of seconds in 2 hours.

Now, don't worry, I'll spare you the entertaining clown math. The answer is J. 6.70 x 10^8 miles. So if you're thinking about racing a beam of light, you better start training those legs!

To calculate the distance traveled by a beam of light in 2 hours, we need to multiply the speed of light by the time taken.

Given that the speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second, we need to convert the 2-hour duration into seconds.

There are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. So, 2 hours can be converted to 2 × 60 × 60 = 7200 seconds.

Now we can calculate the distance traveled by multiplying the speed of light by the time:

Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 186,000 miles/second × 7200 seconds

Calculating this, we get:

Distance = 1,339,200,000 miles

So, the correct answer is option K. 1.34 x 10^9 miles.

so, now you can figure how many miles the light travels in 7200 seconds, right?
