Answer:

It would take 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to apply the formula:

Time = distance / speed rate

Replacing the variables with the values given:

Time = 239,000m / 500 m/min = 478 min

Dividing by 60 minutes, we obtain the time in hours:

478 /60= 7.97 = 8 hours (rounded to the nearest hour)

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.
