    Answer: 3.142656 * 10^16 feet

    Explanation: Given that the

    Speed = 982,080,000 ft/s, and

    Time = 32,000,000 seconds

    The formula for speed is:

    Speed = distance / time

    Make distance the subject of formula

    Since the time is second in one year and speed is ft/s, substitute both into the formula

    Distance = speed * time

    distance = 982,080,000 * 32,000,000

    Distance = 3.142656 * 10^16 feet.

    The distance of one light year in feet is 3.142656 * 10^16
