    the recessional velocity of the galaxy is 2.736*10^-3 km/s

    Explanation:

    for the recessinal velocity of the galaxy as v and d being the distance of the galaxy from us and H as the hubble constant, then hubbles law says:

    v = H*d

    = (22 km/s per million light years) * 108 light years

    = (2.2*10^-5 km/s per light years) * 108 light years

    = 2.376*10^-3 km/s

    Therefore, the recessional velocity of the galaxy is 2.736*10^-3 km/s
