This sounds like a homework question. So, I am not going to give you the answers. Instead, I am going to tell you how to get the answers. First, you need to look up how far a light year is. Then you remember that distance = velocity x time Solve this equation for time and plug in your numbers to determine how long it will take Voyager 1 to travel 1 light year. Multiply this answer by 150 to find out how long it will take the probe to travel 150 light years.

9,460,730,472,580.8 km / 490,000,000 = 19,307.6 years. 150*9,460,730,472,580.8/490,000,000 = 2,896,141,981 years.
