Can anybody please check something mathsy for the book I'm writing? Would it take (very) roughly 78 hours for a space ship travelling 700,000 kilometres per hour to travel 55.8 million kilometres?

Hey, thanks! This is the kind of stuff I struggle with

No problem! It's just speed=distance/time
So time = distance/speed (you multiply both sides by time, then divide both sides by speed to get this)
And substitute your numbers in!
That is far easier than my method. I just started adding 700000's on my calculator until I got to 55.8 million and counted how many times it took
