ok, let me look. Oh, okay . . . I didn't go over that in every class, but in a couple of the classes I suggested trying "The Gold Standard" method of doing the Unit Analysis. It's not required on this one, but here is the basic idea. The problem really just boils don to a duet type situation since the velocity is constant. ∆x = v t So you can just make these the first two parts of your unit analysis. So you would have the 299,792,458 m/s as your first part of your unit analysis and then the 8.3 min after that. Then the next three slots would just be conversions. There is no worry about having to flip anything because you already know the equation.
