Answer:
682,000 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the ratio of 186,000 miles per second:
[tex]\frac{miles}{second}=\frac{186,000}{1}[/tex]
we can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to find the distance, in miles, from the earth to the moon
[tex]\frac{186,000}{1}=\frac{x}{\frac{11}{3}}[/tex] where 'x' is the number of miles between the earth and the moon
Cross-multiply: x = 186,000*[tex]\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
Solve for x = 682,000 miles
