The sound has to travel from the ship to the cliff and then back to the ship, so the total distance traveled by the sound is twice the distance from the ship to the cliff.
Therefore, the sound has traveled 2 * 220 = 440 metres when the echo is heard on the ship.
Therefore, the sound has traveled 2 * 220 = 440 metres when the echo is heard on the ship.
