Here is the problem. 

 

Alice has just discovered base 10 cake! She is delighted with how powerful it is. One day, after nibbling on the cake, Alice realizes she is 1 mile tall. Having her head in the sky makes her think about space travel. She decides she wants to visit the Moon, which is about 239,000 miles from Earth.

How many more ounces of base 10 cake should Alice eat so the top of her head just touches the Moon? Give your answer to the nearest hundredth of an ounce.

 

I already got the equation. y=1*10 to the power of x. x being how many ounces of cake Alice eats. y being how tall she will end up. 1 being her starting height. 10 being the base.
