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:
Time = Distance / Speed
B. Plugging in the given values:
Time = 3.39 × 10^7 miles / 3.6 × 10^4 miles per hour
Time = 940833.333 hours
Therefore, it would take approximately 940,833 hours for the rocket to travel from Earth to Mars.
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.
