Answer 2

1.3 kilometers

Explanation:

It is given,

A kangaroo hops 2 kilometers in 3 minutes.

I.e. In 3 minutes, a kangaroo hops 2 kilometers.

Thus, in 2 minutes, it will hop
`2 * (2)/(3)` kilometers

i.e. It will hop
`(4)/(3)` kilometers

i.e. It will hop 1.3 kilometers

Hence, in 2 minutes the kangaroo will hop 1.3 kilometers.
