Answer(or question to Mentor): I think the answer is 6.4 miles. I got this by dividing 5 into 32. 5 multiplied by 6 is 30, and you have 2 left over. You add a demical after the 6. Then you add a 0 which makes 20. 5 multiplied by 4 is 20. I divided because I knew that every 5 seconds for the sound of thunder to travel 1 mile. I needed to see how far away the lightning is if 32 seconds pass between each flash of lightning. So I divided.

Instructor Comments: Elizabeth,
Nice job. YOu might want to encourage him to write back again if he needs more hints, or say "I look forward to hearing from you again" so that he doesn't think you are just signing off forever.
