a.) 5.88*10^13 miles
b.) 8.4672*10^13 miles
c.) 1.44*10^12 miles
d.) 5.88*10^12 miles

Option B -

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Astronomers measure large distances in light-years. One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year, or approximately 5,880,000,000,000 miles.Suppose a star is 14.4 light years from earth.

To find : In scientific notation, how many miles away a star is from earth?

Solution :

One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year is = 5,880,000,000,000 miles.

In scientific notation, miles.

In 14.4 lights year the distance is  

In 14.4 lights year the distance is  

                                                  or  

Therefore, Option B is correct.
