If a galaxy is moving away from us at 1.0 of the speed of light, use Hubble's law to estimate how far away it is from us 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) 140 ly
B) 14 ly
C) 140 thousand ly
D) 140 million ly
E) 140 billion ly
