Divide 65 by 3600 (the number of seconds in 1 hour) to get the speed in miles per second. Then since time equals distance divided by rate, divide 240000 by 65 mph expressed as miles per second.

Divide the result above by the number of seconds in a day. Hint: 3600 seconds in one hour, 24 hours in one day.
