    0.12s

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this problem we are given with the speed of the signal and the distance travelled and is asked to determine the time of travel. IN this case, the expression that can be applied is

    time = distance / speed

    = (3.6 * 10⁷ m) / (3 * 10⁸ m/s)

    = (3.6 / 3) * 10⁷⁻⁸ s

    = 1.2 * 10⁻¹ s

    t = 0.12 s

    Answer:0.4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    might be wrong but if the satellite is orbiting at a height of 7.5*10^7 (meters?) then it should be 0.4 seconds.

    3*10^8=300,000,000

    7.5*10^7=75,000,000

    300,000,000/75,000,000=0.4
