A) 150 meters
B) 450 meters
C) 700 meters
D) 1,400 meters

Answer 1

25m=13.7((4*60))
25m=13.7(240)
25m=3288
m=131.52
The correct answer is A)
Well that's what I guess.

Answer 2

Answer: B) 450 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Nate walks 25 meters in 13.7 seconds.

Since he walks at this same rate , it means the distance and time are proportional.

Let d be be the distance covered in 4 minutes.

Also, 1 minute = 60 seconds.

Then $\text{4 minutes}=4\times60=240\text {seconds}$

According to the given information, we have the following equation :-

$\dfrac{d}{240}=\dfrac{25}{13.7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=\dfrac{25\times240}{13.7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=437.9562043$

From the given options, The value closest to $d=437.9562043$ is 450.

Thus , the closest to the distance he will walk in 4 minutes is 450 meters,
