    speed of light, v = 3 x 10^8 m/s

    time = 0.72 hour

    distance = velocity x time

    distance = 3 x 10^8 x 0.72 x 3600

    distance = 7776 x 10^8 m = 7.78 x 10^8 km

    Thus, the distance is 7.78 x 10^8 km.

    7.77 x 10⁸ Km

    Explanation:

    given,

    Speed of light = 3 x 10⁵ Km/s

    = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

    1 light hour = 1.079 x 10⁹ Km

    now,

    0.72 light hour = 0.72 x 1.079 x 10⁹ Km

    = 0.7769 x 10⁹ Km

    = 7.77 x 10⁸ Km

    The Jupiter is 7.77 x 10⁸ Km far from sun.
