    Step-by-step explanation:

    Distance between earth and moon in meters = 386400 x 10³ m

    Speed of ship = 11184.7258 m / s

    Time taken = distance of moon from earth / speed of ship

    = 386400 x 10³ / 11184.7258

    = 34.5471 x 10³ s

    = 34.5471 x 10³ / 60 x 60 hour

    = 9.596 hours
