A Correct answer
Explanation

Speed = 2 m/s. Time = 15 minutes = 15 * 60 = 900 seconds. Distance = speed * time = 2 * 900 = 1800 meters = 1.8 km.

AI explanation

First, convert the time from minutes to seconds, which gives 15 minutes = 900 seconds. Using the distance formula (Distance = Speed * Time), the distance is 2 * 900 = 1800 meters. Converting this to kilometers by dividing by 1000 gives 1.8 km.
