REmember that

the speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

so

speed=d/t

in this problem we have

speed=3.6x10^4 miles/hour

d=7.2x10^8 miles

substitute in the formula

[tex]3.6\cdot10^4=\frac{7.2\cdot10^8}{t}[/tex]

solve for t

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3.6\cdot10^4=\frac{7.2\cdot10^8}{t} \\ t=\frac{7.2\cdot10^8}{3.6\cdot10^4} \\ t=2.0\cdot10^4\text{ hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]

therefore

answer is option D
