Answer:
20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically we know that;
time = distance/ speed
distance = 239,000 miles
Time = 200 miles per minute
time = 239,000/200 = 1195 minutes
Let us convert this to hours by dividing by 60 (since 60 minutes equal an hour
So we have 1195/60 = 19.91
This is approximately 20 hours
