23. NASA's New Horizons interplanetary probe

has been making its way to Pluto since
January 2006. In July 2015, it reached Pluto
and sent a radio transmission signal at a
speed of 1.86 x 105 miles per second. If the
signal traveled a distance back to Earth of
approximately 3.06 x 109 miles, how many
minutes did it take for the signal to reach
Earth, correct to the nearest 5 minutes?

new version interplanetary prop has been making its way to Pluto since January 2006 in July 2015 it reach Ludo and send a radio this is radio radio transmission at a speed of 1.86 into 10 to power 5 miles per second if I travel a distance back to earth of approximately 3.06 into 10 to power 9 miles How many minutes did it take for the single to reach Earth correct to the nearest 5 minutes so in this question we have to calculate the how much time will be taken to reach the signal to the earth solar start sd1 distance between

Earth and Pluto is is 3.0 into 10 to power 9 miles and the speed of radio transmission is 1.86 into 10 to power 5 mph S and as we know that distance is equal to speed into time this is split into time so distance is 3.06 into 10 to power 3 into 1.86 into 10 to the power 5 time at solving we will get is equal to 3.069 and 1.86 into 10 to power site that is approx to that is approx to 1.41.64 into 10 to power for second but this answer is second to be tried to convert the second into a minute as we know that 60 second is equal to 1 minute 1.6.2 10 to the power 4 using this conversion you will get this is equal to approach approximate 227

3.3 means the radio transmission take 27 3.34 minute to reach our Earth is round this result to the nearest to the five minutes we will get this is approx 275 minutes after round off.
