The correct answer is C. 180 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula to calculate distance is Distance = Speed x Time. This implies if you multiply the speed (rate of motion) by the time (seconds, minutes, etc) you can know the total distance traveled. In the case presented this means Distance = 12 meters per second (speed) x 15 seconds (time). Thus, the distance the snowboarder traveled was 180 meters as 12x 15 = 180. Also, the distance is expressed in meters because the unit used in the steed is meters per second.
