Answer:

12.8 light-years

Explanation:

Multiply the distance by the conversion factor.

(1.208×10^14 km) × (1 light-year)/(9.461×10^12 km)

= (1.208/9.461)×10^(14-12) light-year ≈ 12.8 light-year

_____

Additional comment

The term "standard form" in this context is somewhat ambiguous. In some parts of the world, "standard form" is "scientific notation." In that form, the distance is 1.28×10^1 light years.
