Answer:

7.5 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance can be found by multiplying the speed by the time.


d=s*t

The car's speed is 1.5 kilometers per minute. It is traveling for 5.0, or 5 minutes. Therefore,


s= 1.5 km/min\\t=5 min

Substitute the values into the formula.


d=1.5 km/min * 5 min

Multiply. When you multiply, the minutes, or "min" will cancel each other out.


d= 1.5 km * 5


d=7.5 km

The distance the car travels is 7.5 kilometers.
