: Please help me solve this table with work. I have to translate units into other units. Preferebly in Scientific Notation since that is the focus of the section. The | is a line in the table, the dimensions are 4x4.
AU | Parsec | Light Year
One AU = | 1 | ? | (1.58)*10^-5 |
One Parsec = | ? | 1 | ? |
One Light Year = | ? | 0.307 | 1 | This question is from textbook Algebra and Trigonometry Structure and Method

AU | Parsec | Light Year
One AU = | 1 |4.85*10^-6| (1.58)*10^-5 |
One Parsec = |20619| 1 | 3.26 |
One Light Year = |63291| 0.307 | 1 |
.
.307/1=P/1.58*10^-5
P=.307*1.58*10^-5
=4.85*10^-6
.
(1.58)*10^-5 /1=1/A
A=1/1.58*10^-5
=6.33*10^-6
.
A/1=1/4.85*10^-5
=20619
.
L/1=1/.307
=3.26
