Please help! I can't figure this one out.

The gap between electrodes in a spark plug is 0.045cm . To produce an electric spark in a gasoline-air mixture, an electric field of 2.2 X 10^6 V/m must be achieved. On starting a car, what is the magnitude of the minimum voltage difference that must be supplied by the ignition circuit? Answer in units of V.
