Voyager's supposed maximum sustainable speed is "warp 9" which is assumed to be ( times the speed of light. Being that Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away from our sun then at warp 9 it would take 177.025 days, or approximately 6 months, to reach it.

4.243 lightyears at the speed of 3 mph.

Thats 2.494247 x 1013 miles. At 3 mph that would take 948,000,000 years.

How long does it take a starship traveling at half the speed of light to get to Alpha Centauri?

First of all, there has never yet been any such thing known to earth as a starship. If an object left Cape Canaveral at 1/2 the speed of light, and maintained a straight-line course toward the place where Alpha Centauri would be when it got there, it would reach Alpha Centauri after the clock on the launch-pad had ticked off 8.8 years.
