Answer:

283

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length of bridge = 170m

Robert's paces = 60cm to meters = 60/100 = 0.6m

Number of paces (P) required to cover the full length of the bridge is;

P = 170/0.6

P = 283.33 ≈ 283

Therefore, the minimum number of full paces that it would take Robert to walk the full length of the bridge is 283.
