calculate the distance that light travels in miles in one year if the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second.
Please help. I did the first part correctly. You end up with 31,536,000 seconds in a year. Then you multiply this by 186,000 Mile/sec

Basically I don't understand what the answer would be I got 5.865696 x 10 but my calculator had another number on it. Can you confirm my answer?
