The distance between two stars is 2.5 × 10^5 light years. What is the distance between the two stars in parsecs? (1 parsec = 3.26 light years)  Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 5.5 × 10^3  B) 3.3 × 10^4  C) 7.7 × 10^4  D) 9.9 × 10^5  E) 1.1 × 10^6
2.5 × 10^5 ly / (3.26 ly/parsec) = (2.5/3.26) x 10^5 = 0.77 x 10^5 = 7.7 x 10^4 parsec   The answer is 7.7 × 10^4.
