    Answer:

    149,700,000 km   (= 1.50 x 10⁸ km)

    Explanation:

    Given,

    Speed of light, c = 300,000 km/s

    Time Taken = 8 min 19 s = 499 seconds

    Recall, Distance = Speed x Time

    = 300,000 km/s   x 499 s

    = 149,700,000 km

    = 1.50 x 10⁸ km

    Answer:

    149,700,000 km

    Explanation:

    First, convert the time to seconds.

    8 min 19 sec = (8 min) (60 sec/min) + 19 sec = 499 sec

    Distance = rate × time

    d = (300,000 km/s) × (499 s)

    d = 149,700,000 km
