During an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station ? The signal travels at the speed of light, that is, `3 xx 10^(8) m//s`.

Explanation

To find the distance of the spaceship from the ground station, we can use the formula for distance, which is given by:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]

### Step 1: Identify the given values
- Speed of the signal (speed of light) = \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s
- Time taken for the signal to reach the ground station = 5 minutes
