Light travels 3 x 105 kilometers every second. That number in words is

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents the speed of light as 3 x 10^5 kilometers every second, and asks for this number in words.
First, interpret the scientific notation: 3 x 10^5 equals 300,000. This is the standard decimal representation of the number.
Next, translate the numeric value into words: 300,000 is read as 'three hundred thousand.'
Finally, ensure the units are consistent with the question’s phrasing: since the statement describes a rate per second, the complete expression in words would be 'three hundred thousand kilometers per second.'
The provided answer field shows '300,000 kilometers,' which lacks the explicit 'per second' portion and presents the value in numeric form rather than words, indicating a mismatch with the asked format. 
If answer options were present, one would expect an option that reads something like 'three hundred thousand kilometers per second' in words, or possibly 'Three hundred thousand kilometers per second' depending on capitalization rules. The absence of answer choices makes it necessary to rely on the conversion steps above to identify the correct verbal expression of the quantity.
