<PRE><B>Question 267173</B>
a bicycle at 12 miles per hour. 
What is her speed in yards per minute?
:
There are 1760 yds in 1 mile
:
12 mph is:{{{(12*1760)/60}}} = 352 yds/min
:
If light can travel 186,000 miles per second, how many miles can it
travel in one year? (Assume one year has 365.24 days.)
:
60 * 60 * 24 * 365.24 * 186,000 ~ 5.87 (10^12)  
which is
5,869,552,896,000 miles on my calc</PRE>
