Pluto and its moon

Pluto and its moon Nix are separated by 48700 km. Neglecting atmospheric effects, should the 5.08 m diameter Mount Palomar telescope be able to resolve these bodies when they are 6.40 Af- 109 km from Earth? Assume the average wavelength of 555 nm. To determine the answer, calculate the ratio of the telescope\'s angular resolution to the angular separation of the objects.
