2.4*10^5 / 2 *10^2
=240000/200
=1200 hours
=50 days

t = 2.4 *10^5 miles / 2*10^2 mph = 1200 hours = 50 days

I'm assuming this is a trick question involving the escape velocity of earth's gravity or some such, since Earth's escape velocity would require faster than 200 miles per hour, however.
But travelling 240,000 miles at 200 miles could be done in 1200 hours, give or take (acceleration)

1200 hours. Use d=tv. Change to t=d/v. t= (2.4*10^5)/(2*10^2)
t=1200

It never will reach the Moon. It won't even reach orbit. You have to go at 17,500mph just to stay in orbit. You have to go at at least 25,000mph to get to the Moon.
