A) 500 meters
B) 5,000 meters
C) 50 meters
D) 1,000 meters

Answer 1

To calculate the distance the backup team in the fire truck has traveled, multiply their speed of 50m/min by the time they've been driving, which is 10 minutes, resulting in a total distance of 500 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a basic calculation of distance covered by the backup team driving the fire truck to assist Shinra. To find out how much distance the backup has driven, we need to use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time.

Here, the speed given is 50 meters per minute and the time given is 10 minutes.

To find the total distance, we multiply the two:

Distance = 50 m/min × 10 min = 500 meters.

Therefore, the backup team has driven a total distance of 500 meters, which corresponds to option A).
