Answer:

At a speed of 2 km every 3 minutes, in 2 minutes the kangaroo would travel 1,333 km.

Explanation:

If a kangaroo hops 2 kilometers in 3 minutes, to calculate how much distance this animal hops in 2 minutes, the following calculation should be performed:

2 km / 3 min = 0.666 km per minute (2/3 x 2)

0.666 km per minute x 2 minutes = 1.333 kilometers in 2 minutes (0.666 x 2)

Therefore, at a speed of 2 km every 3 minutes, in 2 minutes the kangaroo would hop 1,333 km.
