The average distance from the sun to the Earth
is about  152 million kilometers.

That's (1.52 x 10⁸ km).

Time to cover the distance = (distance) / (speed)

                   Time = (1.52 x 10⁸ km) / (3 x 10⁵ km/s)

                           =  (506 and 2/3) seconds.

                                 That's 8 minutes 27 seconds .

The popular number is "about 8 minutes".
