36 . If it takes 5 seconds for the sound of thunder to travel 1 mile, how many miles was the person from the lighting bolt?

1 mile

Explanation:

If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close.

hope this : )
