5:00 1/186000 sec.

Why the fraction? Should have noted, your traveling at the speed of light from A to B. Constant speed, no stopping/accelerating.

they had to go 1000 miles...light travels 186,000 miles per second, hence....travel 1000 miles at 186,000mper second, it takes you 1/186,000 of a second to do so.
