Hint
Light travels over 186,000 miles per second.
Answer
Miles travelled by light in a second.
Reasoning
Light travels over 186,000 miles per second.
There are 2.54cm in an inch, 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, and 1760 yards in a mile. So there are 2.54 x 12 x 3 x 1760 = 160,934.4cm in a mile.
