Problem

Suppose you are in a flat, matter-only universe that has a Hubble constant H0=68H_0 = 68 km s−1^{-1} Mpc−1^{-1}. You observe a galaxy with z=1z = 1. How long will you have to keep observing the galaxy to see its redshift change by one part in 10610^6? [Hint: use the result from the previous problem.]
