Re: Hubble's constant

From what you have said (and I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick here ) you have been given a velocity v (which I assume if the recessional velocity) and the distance to the galaxy D, therefore from the equation

v = Ho x D

you have v and D therefore you should be able to work out Ho (Hubble's constant) from Ho = v/D

Though I am a bit confused as to why there are 2 figures missing
