We find the speed in kilometers per minute, taking into account that 1 h = 60 minutes:

v = 800 km / h = 800 km / 60 min = 80/6 km / min = (40/3) km / min.

We find the distance s that the plane will fly at a speed v in a time t = 1.5 minutes:

s = vt = (40/3) km / min * 1.5 min = 40/2 km = 20 km.

Answer: 20 km.
