Final answer:

The cyclist will travel 14.4 km in 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance in km that the cyclist will travel in 2 hours, we need to find the distance covered in 1 minute and then multiply by the number of minutes in 2 hours.

The cyclist covers 600 m in 5 minutes. So, in 1 minute, the cyclist covers 600/5 = 120 m.

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so in 2 hours, there are 2 x 60 = 120 minutes.

Therefore, the distance in km that the cyclist will travel in 2 hours is 120 m/min x 120 min = 14,400 m = 14.4 km.
