As usual, that depends how fast you go. In general, you can divide distance by speed. However, in this case it is a bit more complicated; with current technology, the spacecraft won't go in a straight line. Rather, it will use the speed of Earth, and speed up a bit more, to go into an elliptical orbit around the Sun, which touches both Earth's and Mars's orbits. Half of such an orbit takes about 9 months.
Of course, it is possible that in the future, improvements to rocket technology - perhaps better ion drives - manage to go in a more direct route, and to get there faster.
The time it takes to travel to Mars depends on the positioning of Earth and Mars in their orbits. On average, it takes about 7-9 months for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars. The most efficient route is taken advantage of during launch windows that occur approximately every 2 years.
Between 7- 9 months and three years depending on the relative positions of the Earth and Mars in orbit using current rocket technology.
The time it takes for a Space Shuttel to get to Mars is 8 months

Which planet is known as the red planet due to iron?
Mars is known as the red planet. This is because the iron in the soil gives it a red color. Mars is thought to have once had lakes and oceans.
How long would it take to get to Mars in a jet from earth?
It is not possible to travel to Mars in a jet as jets operate within Earth's atmosphere, while Mars is a planet in outer space. To travel to Mars, a spacecraft would be needed, and it would take about 6-9 months, depending on the specific trajectory and alignment of Earth and Mars.
Which planet nicknamed the red planet?
Mars.
