this is a simple speed over time problem.... or velocity. same as if I were to say how far will a car go in 1 hour if traveling 60mph.
so start with converting 3.8 years to seconds. 3.8 years x 365 days/year x 24 hours/day x 60 min/hour x 60 s/min x 7 x10^-6 cm/s --> cancel all units and multiple you get 838.858 cm

First you need to find out how many seconds are in a year, and then multiply what you find by 3.8 years.
The number of seconds in a year are 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 365 days = 31,536,000.
Now, multiply the number of seconds in a year by 3.8 years:
31,536,000 x 3.8 = 119,836,800, or 1,198,368 x 10^2.
Now that you know how many seconds are in 3.8 years, multiply that number by 7 x 10^-6:
(1,198,368 x 10^2) x (7 x 10^-6)
Next, multiply 1198368 and 7 together and multiply it by 10 ^ -4 (add the exponents together):
8,388,576 x 10^-4
The answer to your question is that the glacier will advance 8,388,576 x 10^-4 cm/s in 3.8 years.

The velocity of the gacier = 7 x 10^-6 cms/sec
Duration ...= 3.8 years
...= 3.8 x 365 x 24 x 3600 sec= 119836800
Dist. covered = 119836800 x 7 x 10^-6
........................= 838857600 x 10^-6
........................= 838.9 cms or 8.389 metres

7x10^-6 cm/s * 3.8 yr * 365 da/ yr * 24 hr/da * 3600 sec/hr = 838.86 cm
