    The distance light travels in 1 second - 186,282 miles

    Therefore distance it takes to travel within 182 seconds - 186,282 miles/second x 182 seconds

    Therefore to find the answer we need to multiply the distance it travels within a second with the amount of seconds it takes

    correct answer is A) 186,282 ⋅ 182
