    Answer: The spacecraft traveled 345 km during the given time.

    Explanation:

    To calculate the distance of spacecraft, we use the equation:

    *** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula:
    \text{Velocity}=\frac{\text{Distance}{\text{Time}}
    
    *** Error message:
    File ended while scanning use of \frac .
    Emergency stop.
    
    

    We are given:

    Velocity = 2.3 km/sec

    Time = 2.5 mins = 150 sec             (Conversion factor: 1 min = 60 sec)

    Putting values in above equation, we get:

    \text{Distance}=(2.3km/s\times 150s)=354km

    Hence, the spacecraft traveled 345 km during the given time.
