We are given
The largest telescope in the world is powerful enough to identify a penny that is 5 miles away
it means that
distance =5 miles
we can change it into yards
we know that
1 mile=1760 yards
[tex]d=5\times 1mile[/tex]
we can replace 1 mile
[tex]d=5\times 1760 yards[/tex]
[tex]d=8800 yards[/tex]
So, distance in yards is 8800 yards..........Answer
