Answer:

12.67 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken is given by distance divided by speed

Given distance of 228, 000, 000 km and speed of light as 300, 000 km/s then time will be

Time=228, 000, 000/300, 000=760 seconds

Conversion

60 seconds make up 1 minute

760 seconds will be 760/60

Time=760/60=12.666666666666

Rounded off, this is 12.67 minutes
