Answer:

15 hours

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the distance moved per unit time hence s=d/t and making t the subject of the formula then t=d/s where t is time taken, d is distance covered and s is the speed.

Substituting 15000 miles for d and 1000 mph for s then

T=15000/1000=15 hours

Therefore, maintaining the same speed, it will take 15 hours to get to mars
