Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that $E=(420Kcal)(\frac{4184J}{1 Kcal})=1757280J$ The power is given as $P=\frac{E}{t}$ This can be rearranged as: $t=\frac{E}{P}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{1757280}{200}=8786.4s=2.44h$ Now we can find the distance as: $d=vt$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d=(3)(2.44)$ $d=7.3km$
