You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6 months have 180 days. 180 days have 180*24 hours.
Lets find the distance to moon.
60%2A180%2A24 miles
So lets find how long does it take to reach moon in a velocity of 180mph
Time = %2860%2A180%2A24%29%2F180
Time = 60%2A24 hours.
It takes 2 months.
Another way to find it easily is thinking that time is inversely propotional to speed.
T+=+k%2A1%2FV
TV=+k
60%2A6+=+180%2AT

T+=+2 months.
