Typical P-wave speeds are 6 km per sec.
Time = 6500 km/6 km/s = 1083 s = 18 min
d. is the closest answer to that
You should have been provided with some information abut the P wave speed.

This is so hard! I am in 6th grade an really, my teacher never taught us this, and we are having to do COLLEGE work. I was looking on another sight and it ACTUALLY said that it was 6.5. Miss calculation? I think maybe.... for the guy who said 6.5.
