Step 1: Convert 72 km/s into 72,000 m/s to be able to divide by Mpc in the next step. Step 2: Use the formula V=H0D Get H0 by itself, to use for step 3 To do that divide V by D Getting H0 = V/D Step 3: Find the megaparsecs unit of distance Mpc = 3.086 x 10^22 m (was given) H0 =72,000 m/s / mpc H0 = 72,000 / 3.086x1^22 m H0 = 2.33 x 10^-18 s^-1 Step 4: To find the time use the formula given T = 1/H0 1/2.33 x 10^-18 s^-1 s^-1 Step 4: Use the following formula (m/s)
