You just divide, so:
90000000/186000 = 483.87 sec
It taken 483.87 sec to for light to reach from the star to the planet.

So to get this the easiest way would be to:
-put 90,000,000 over 186,000 and cancel out zeroes so you have 90,000 divided by 186 ( so it makes more sense in long division later)
-Then divide 90,000 by 186
-get 483.87 seconds
Hope this helped!
