It's about 110 years. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer so you have to convert 80km into meters, which is 80,000. Once you do that you divide 80,000 by 2 to get 40,000. Then you have how many days it takes to reach the village. You need to find how many years 40,000 days is. Divide 40,000 by 365 and you'll get your answer, about 110 years. Hope that helped!
