Final answer:

The lion could run 1333.33 meters in 1 minute if it can run at a speed of 80 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the speed from km/hr to m/s, we need to use the conversion factor: 1 km/hr = 1000 m/(60*60) s. Therefore, to find the lion's speed in m/s, we have:

Speed in m/s = (80 km/hr) x (1000 m/(60*60) s) = (80 x 1000) / (60*60) m/s = 22.22 m/s.

In 1 minute, the lion would travel a distance equal to its speed multiplied by 60 seconds:

Distance = (22.22 m/s) x (60 s) = 1333.33 meters.

Therefore, the lion could run 1333.33 meters in 1 minute.
