An astronaut stands on the edge of a lunar crater and throws a half-eaten Twinkie™ horizontally with a velocity of 2.2 m/s. The floor of the crater is 95.4 m below the astronaut. What horizontal distance will the Twinkie™ travel before hitting the floor of the crater? (The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1/6th that of the Earth).

i got a time of 4.41 and then multiplied it by the 2.2 velocity and got 9.71

your time is wrong. You used g for Earth, not the moon.
