Answer: 22 minutes

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula:

C = πd

where C is the circumference, π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14), and d is the diameter.

In this case, the diameter of the field is 98 meters, so the circumference is:

C = πd = 3.14 × 98m = 307.72m

So it will take the child:

time = distance / rate

time = circumference / rate = 307.72m / 14m/min = 22.0 min (rounded to one decimal place)

Therefore, it will take the child approximately 22 minutes to walk around the field once at a rate of 14 meters per minute.
