Answer 2

The answer is 16 hours

Explanation:

The Reason why it is 16 hours is simply because it says in the question

"The moon is around 239,000 miles from Earth. How many hours would it take a rocket that can travel at 250 MILES PER MINUTE to travel to the moon? Round to the nearest hour. "

So, turn 16 hours into minutes, 16 X 60 = 960 X 250 miles per min = 240,000, miles there you go! the answer is B!
