No, the race car driver does not meet the goal. The driver's average speed would allow them to cover only 4200 meters/minute × 240 minutes = 1,008,000 meters
The total distance covered by the driver in 4 hours is calculated by multiplying the average speed (4200 meters per minute) by the time (4 hours converted to minutes as: 4 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 240 minutes)
4200 meters per minute x 240 minutes
The result is 1,008,000 meters.
To meet the goal of completing the 1000-kilometer race in 4 hours or less, the driver needs to cover 1,000,000 meters.
Therefore, the driver must be 1,000,000 meters − 1,008,000 meters = −8000 meters faster in the given time, meaning they need to increase their speed by 8000 meters/240 minutes = 33.33 meters/minute to meet the goal.
So, that means the driver didn't meet his goal.
