insert step 1> Start by identifying the conversion factor between miles and meters. You know that 1 mile is equal to 1,609.34 meters.
insert step 2> Set up the conversion by multiplying the distance in miles by the conversion factor to convert it to meters.
insert step 3> Write the equation: \( \text{Distance in meters} = 240,000 \text{ mi} \times 1,609.34 \text{ m/mi} \).
insert step 4> Perform the multiplication to find the distance in meters.
insert step 5> Ensure that your final answer is in the correct units, which should be meters.
