I have to slove this but I dont know how to! Can someone please help me! I have to calculate how many MWG would fit between the MWG and the Andromeda Galaxy.

1) Why anyone would ask about driving to the moon is beyond me....but anyway, the moon is on average about 384,400 km (238,906 miles) away from the Earth. Travelling 238,906 miles at 70 mph would take 3413 hours, or 284.4 12 hour driving sessions. It would be about 40 weeks of that kind of driving to get to the moon.
2) The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away from our own galaxy. It is estimated that the Milky Way is bout 80,000 to 100,000 light years in diameter...lets go with 100,000 light years as a nice easy reference.
2,500,000 / 100,000 = 25 Milky Ways would fit in between our galaxy and Andromeda.
Obviously this is really only an approximation, due to the innacuracies of our measures to this scale, but hopefully its good enough for what you want.

why 12 hours a day? it would take more fuel to stop the car than it would to get it going in the first place. You are driving a car , right?If you stop, what are you going to do? Plus I think you better concentrate on getting there and getting back to Earth. You will be coming back wont you. And what's a mwg.And I have no idea what the Andromeda galaxy has to do with driving to the moon. You did say that you were driving a car , right? I just hope that you are driving one of those Pacer cars, their the ones that have that bubble window. I think that would be the car to take. and before you go, make sure that the weather stripping is working real good. Before you go though, there is this really neat way to check the weather stripping. Get in the car and drive to the nearest lake or pond will do, and drive into the water. Sit there and wait for awhile, and see if any of the water comes into the car. If you stay dry I think that you will do OK, as long as the people that are trying to get you out of the water,will let you go to the moon. Have fun.

well earth and moon are 238900 miles apart so if u driving 70 mph for 12 hours a day it is 840 miles a day and 238900 divided by 840 = on average 284 days otherwise the moon is alkso known as 250000 away from earth so doing the maths again it is about 297 days and then about 300 days that in weeks is about 43 weeks and in months about 11 months but i still not 100 percent sure i about 60 percent sure

The average distance to the moon is 238,857 miles... Do the math.
Added .. take the distance divided by your speed and then by 12. That will give you how many days to do. It's between 200 and 300.
