75 % of the drive is 0.75 x 932.4 miles which is 699.3 miles which if divided by two equals about 350 miles per day will allow her to reach her objective so the result is obtained by just doing simple math according to the total distance and the 75% and dividing the result by 2 days.

Explanation:
(i) 1 Astronomical Unit (A.U.) = 1.496 x 10^8 Km.
Therefore, distance of Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU = 71 x 1.496 x 10^8 = 1.062 x 10^10 Km.
(ii) The nearest star to Earth than sun is the Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. The Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away from Earth.
As, 1 Light year = 63241.1 AU
The distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth = 4.22 x 63241.1 AU = 266877.3 AU
The distance of the Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU
The number of times the distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth is greater than that of Voyager I is = 266877.3 / 71
= 3758.835 times.
(iii) Speed of light is 1.079 x 10^9 Km/hr
Light travels 1.079 x 10^9 km in 1 hr
Therefore, 1. 062 x 10^10 Km is traveled by light in = (1.062 x 10^10) / (1.079 x 10^9) hr = 9.84 hours
That means when Voyager I was 71 AU from Earth, a observational data from Voyager I at the speed of light took 9.84 hours to reach Earth.
