Answer:

4 minutes 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

A kangaroo hops 2 kilometers in 3 minutes

The rate/speed is

rate/speed= 2/3 km per minute

Required

the time taken to cover 3 km

Step two:

We know that

rate= distance/time

2/3= 3/t

cross multiply we have

2t=3*3

2t=9

divide both sides by 2

t= 9/2

t= 4.5 minutes

t= 4 minutes 3 seconds
