Answer:
The value is [tex]t = 14.129 \ minutes[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of planet Tatoone is [tex]d = 1.7 \ AU = 1.7 *1.496* 10^{11}=2.543*10^{11} \ m[/tex]
The speed of light is [tex]c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/ s[/tex]
Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{d}{c}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{2.543*10^{11}}{3.0*10^{8} }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = 847.7 \ s[/tex]
Now converting to minutes
[tex]t = \frac{847.7}{60}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = 14.129 \ minutes[/tex]
