Provided it moves with uniform velocity, the distance covered will be s = v*t, where "s" is the distance covered in time "t" with a uniform velocity of "v".

Here, v = 6.3*10^-6 cm/s, t = 66000 s
So, s = 6.3*10^-6*66000 = 0.4158 cm

6.3 x 10^-6 cm/s x 66000s = 0.4158 cm

Plug and chug. What is measured in cm/s? What is measured in s? How do you get a distance from those two quantities?
