A probe launched from Earth to Mars is traveling at an average speed of 1.8 * 10^4 kilometers per hour. If the distance between Earth and Mars is approximately 2.25 * 10^6 kilometers, about how many hours will it take the probe to reach Mars?

PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING

Speed is distance traveled over time, or
v = d/t

Since we're solving for time, we can rearrange the formula for time:
t = d/v

Substitute the values.
t = 2.25 x 10^6 / 1.8 x 10^4
t = ?

Units in hours. Hope this helps~ `u`
