    okay, you have pay special attention to time. i. e 60secs = 1 minute, 60 minutes = 1 hour, 24 hours in one day, and 7 days in one week. No. of seconds in one week we are told is 6.1048 x 10 ^5 seconds.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    s = d/t [ speed = distance/time]

    therefor, rearranging, we get d = s x t

    Since speed = 2.998*10^5 Km/s and time = 6.048^10^5

    d = (2.998 x 10^5) x (6.048 x10^5) = (2.998 x 6.048) x 10 ^ (5+5)

    d = 18.131904 X 10^10 km

    d = approximately 18.132 x 10^10 km (to 3 decimal places)
