Answer: 1,825 km above the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out the number of minutes in 9 hours:

= 9 * 60 mins

= 540 mins

The space craft is descending at 5km per minute. In 540 minutes it would have descended:

= 540 * 5

= 2,700 km

Its new position would be:

= Old position - Change in position

= 4,525 - 2,700

= 1,825 km above the surface
