10km

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10 \ kilometers}}$

Explanation:

Distance is the product of speed and time.

$d=s \times t$

The speed of the ship is 5 kilometers per hour. The time is 2 hours.

• s= 5 km/hr
• t= 2 hr

Substitute the values into the formula.

$d= 5 \ km/hr * 2 \ hr$

Multiply. Note that the hours will cancel each other out.

$d= 5 \ km * 2 \\d=10 \ km$

The ship covers a distance of 10 kilometers.
