    9.4608 * 10¹³ seconds.

    Explanation:

    Data provided:

    Distance of Andromeda from Earth = 3 million light years

    Now,

    3 million light year means that the light will take 3 million years to reach the Earth

    also,

    in 1 year there are (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31536000 seconds

    therefore,

    3 million years in seconds = 3 million * 31536000 seconds

    = 3,000,000 * 31536000

    = 9.4608 * 10¹³ seconds.
