Question 2

Redshift measurements on a galaxy show that it is receding from us with a velocity of 7240 km/s.
 
  Estimate how far away the galaxy is if the Hubble constant is 22 km/s per million light-years. (c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 ly = 9.461  1015 m, 1 y = 3.156  107 s)
  A) 3.1  1024 m
  B) 1.2  1024 m
  C) 4.1  1023 m
  D) 1.2  1026 m
