To convert the distance from miles to inches, we need to multiply by the conversion factor.
1 mile = 63,360 inches
Therefore, the distance in inches can be calculated as:
2.37 x 10^-9 miles * 63,360 inches/mile
= (2.37 * 63,360) x 10^-9 inches
= 150,307.2 x 10^-9 inches
We can write this in scientific notation as:
1.50 x 10^5 inches
Rounding the decimal portion to the nearest hundredth, the final answer is:
1.50 x 10^5 inches
