This question is primary testing your ability to convert numbers into different units.

Light travels at 3.0 x 10^8 m / 1 s. Since 1 s = 10^9 nanoseconds and 1 m = 10^-3 km), we can make this substitution to get the speed of light in km / nanoseconds:

v = [3.0 x 10^8 m/s * (10^-3 km/m)] / [1 s * (10^9 nanoseconds/s)] = 3.0 x 10^-4 km/nanosecond

Now we just plug in our numbers and solve:

d = vt
6.6 km = (3.0 x 10^-4 km/nanosecond)(t)
t = 22,000 nanoseconds
