Answer:
0.12 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
just think - how long does it take you to travel for example 30 km, if you are going 60 km/h ?
you have to divide 30 by 60 and get 0.5 or 1/2. meaning it takes you (logically) 30 minutes or half an hour to do so.
it is the same principle for all these kinds of questions.
we only need to keep an eye on the dimension of what we are talking about. is it hours or seconds ? meters or kilometers ? and do in
we need here to focus on seconds and to calculate
3.6×10⁷ / 3×10⁸ = 3.6 / 3×10¹ = 1.2 / 10 = 0.12 seconds
or
seconds
