    Distance between two adjacent wave crests = 24m

    Explanation:

    Distance = speed * time

    Distance traveled by waves in 60 seconds (15 crests) = 15 * distance

    15 * distance = 6,0 (meters/second) * 60 seconds

    distance = (360 meters) / 15 = 24 meters (between two adyacent waves)
