It will take approximately 169 minutes for a the rocket to travel a distance of  1,260,000,000 feet at 1,540,000 ft/min

Speed, Distance and Time

Given Data

  • Distance = 260,000,000 feet
  • Speed = 1,540,000 ft/min

Applying the relationship between speed, distance and time we have

Speed = Distance/Time

Substituting our given data into the expression we have

1,540,000  = 260,000,000/time

Making time subject of formula

time = 260,000,000/1,540,000

time = 169 miniutes
