You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write 93 million miles using scientific notation.
93 million miles = 93,000,000,000
Now 93,000,000,000 becomes 9.3 x 10^10
The only thing left to do is to divide the speed of light by the distance from the earth to the sun.
Here is the set up:
[9.3 x 10^10]/[9.8 x 10^8]
