In a thunderstorm , lightning strikes the ground 2 miles away from Hanish. The speed of sound is 0.214 miles per second. To the nearest tenth of a second, how long will it take the sound to travel to Hanish's ears so that he hears thunder? square

## Step 1The problem provides us with the distance between Hanish and the lightning strike, which is 2 miles, and the speed of sound, which is 0.214 miles per second. We are asked to find the time it takes for the sound to travel from the lightning strike to Hanish's ears.## Step 2We can use the formula for time, which is given by:### **Time = **## Step 3Substitute the given values into the formula:### **Time = **## Step 4Perform the division to find the time.
