The distance an object travels is determined by how fast it goes and for how long it moves. If an object’s speed remains constant, the formula is d=r+t when d is the distance, r is the speed, and t is the time. A satellite is orbiting the Earth at the rate of 25 kilometers per minute. How far will it travel in two hours?

Well,

if d = r + t, then

d = 25 + 120.

So, d = 145 km/hr.

But, if d = r(t), then

d = 25 (120)
and
d = 3000 km/hr

I hope this helps and I'm sorry if I told the wrong answer. The reason why I did multiplication too is because I know as multiplication, but I could b having a brain fart. But go with the first answer.
