The question then asks how far a signal will travel in 10−9 s if it is traveling at 80% of the speed of light. Remember that the speed of light c = 3 × 108 m/s. Therefore‚ 80% of c is (0.8)(3 × 108 ) = 2.4 × 108 m/s. Now‚ we use a product of ratios to convert from meters/second to inches/nanosecond: 100 cm 1 in (2.4 × 108 )(100) 9.45 in 2.4 × 108 m 1s · ·
