Answer:

282 hr <======= see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance / rate = time

2.4 x 10^9 mi / 85 m/hr = 28235294 hr

You must have left the power of 10 off of your speed

probably should be 8.5 x 10^6 perhaps? then answer is 282

<h3>If speed was 8.5 x 10^5 then answer becomes ~ 2820 </h3>
