Imagine that you have obtained spectra for several galaxies and have measured the redshift of each galaxy to determine its speed away from us. Here are your results:
Galaxy 1: Speed away from us is 15000 .
Galaxy 2: Speed away from us is 20000 .
Galaxy 3: Speed away from us is 25000 .
Estimate the distance to each galaxy from Hubble’s law. Assume that .
thats the ? you need to figure out glaxy 1, 2, and 3. I've used up almost all of my guessing points. Please help!

You have to use hubble's law: V=(Ho)D
For the hubble constant, use Ho = 70.1
So simply plug into the formula to obtain distance. Note that speed is V.
