Explanation:

Step1: Find shark's speed

First, calculate the speed using the first row of data. Speed is distance divided by time.
$\text{Speed} = \frac{2}{3}$ kilometers per minute

Step2: Calculate distance for 2 minutes

Multiply speed by the given time (2 minutes).
$\text{Distance} = \frac{2}{3} \times 2 = \frac{4}{3}$

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3}$ kilometers (or $1\frac{1}{3}$ kilometers)
