Distance calculated

I have made these calculations thanks to the formulas that we have learned in class:

 D=10*(m-M+5/5)  where M it's  the absolute magnitude and m apparent magnitude.  M=-3.882 and m=2.942

 D=10*(2.942-(-3.882)+5/5)

 D=10*(1478/625)

 D=231pc

 I have found that the distance it's approximately of 160pc this time I have been really far. Probably it's because I have rounded out the numbers.
