:: (3.6 × 10¹) ÷ (3.39 × 10^7)
:: (3.6 × 10¹)-(3.39 × 10^7)
:: (3.6 × 10¹) × (3.39 × 10^7)
:: (3.39 × 10^7) ÷ (3.6 × 10¹)
:: (3.39 × 10^7)-(3.6 × 10¹)
:: (3.39 × 10^7) × (3.6 × 10¹)

A. (3.39 × 10^7) ÷ (3.6 × 10^4) or (3.39 × 10^7) ÷ (3.6 × 10^1)

B. It would take approximately 942 hours to travel from Earth to Mars.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let me correct it.

A. (3.39 × 10^7) ÷ (3.6 × 10^4)

B. The correct expression 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).

Now, let's calculate the number of hours:
(3.39 × 10^7) ÷ (3.6 × 10^4) = 9.416666... × 10^2 = 942 hours

Therefore, it would take approximately 942 hours to travel from Earth to Mars at the given speed. Thank you for pointing out the error.
