To calculate the distance between the Earth and the moon, we had to follow several steps. First, we found the distance between the earth and the moon which is 238,900 miles or 384,400 km. Then, we calculated how many earths is earth away from the moon. It takes 30 earths to get to the moon. Afterwards, we calculated the proportions of our "earth" and "moon."
Earth was 16 in
Moon was 4 inches
So then we measured boards and laid them across the classroom, which will be made up of diamter "earths".
In the solution, we came to the conclusion that the distance between the Earth and the moon consisted of 30 earths, or approximately 480 inches.
