Answer:

66.7s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance between Mars and Earth  = 2 x 10¹⁰m

Unknown:

Time it takes for light to travel  = ?

Solution:

The speed of light is given as 3 x 10⁸m/s

 Now;

   Speed  = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]  

 

    Time  = [tex]\frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

Insert the parameters and solve;

   Time  = [tex]\frac{2 x 10^{10} }{3 x 10^{8} }[/tex]   = 66.7s
