We can solve this problem by dividing the given number of meters by the conversion factor of meters to miles.

Number of miles = (3.52 x 10^7 meters) / (1.6 x 10^3 meters/mile)

To divide numbers in scientific notation, subtract the exponents:

Number of miles = 3.52 x 10^7 / 1.6 x 10^3 = 2.2 x 10^(7 - 3) = 2.2 x 10^4

Therefore, there are approximately 2.2 x 10^4 miles in 3.52 x 10^7 meters.
