Given:
Distance from the strike = 2 miles
The objective is to find the time between a flash of lightning and the sound of its thunder.
According to the question,
[tex]\text{distance}=\frac{time}{5}[/tex]Substitutig the values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2=\frac{\text{time}}{5} \\ \text{time=2}\times5 \\ =10\text{ seconds} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the time between the flash and thunder is 10 seconds.
