A. The expression that could be used to determine the approximate number of hours it would take the rocket to travel from Earth to Mars is:
(3.39 * 10 ^ 7) / (3.6 * 10 ^ 4)
B. It would take approximately 106 hours to travel from Earth to Mars at the given speed.
The closest distance between Earth and Mars is approximately 3.39 * 10 ^ 7 miles.
The fastest rocket leaving Earth travels at an average speed of approximately 3.6 * 10 ^ 4 miles per hour.

A. At that rate, which expression could be used to determine the
approximate number of hours it would take the rocket to travel from Earth to
Mars?
B. How many hours would it take to travel from Earth to Mars?
Expression
(3.6 * 10 ^ 4) / (3.39 * 10 ^ 7)
(3.6 * 10 ^ 4) - (3.39 * 10 ^ 7)
:: (3.6 * 10 ^ 4)(3.39 * 10 ^ 7)
(3.39 * 10 ^ 7) / (3.6 * 10 ^ 4)
= (3.39 * 10 ^ 7) - (3.6 * 10 ^ 4)
(3.39 * 10 ^ 7)(3.6 * 10 ^ 4)
