We know that

The toy robot moves a total distance of 264 centimeters in 11 seconds.

To know the time in seconds for 480 centimeters, we can form the following proportion.


\frac{264\operatorname{cm}}{11\sec}=\frac{408\operatorname{cm}}{t}

We solve the expression for t.


t=(408\cdot11)/(264)\sec =(4,488)/(264)\sec =17\sec

Therefore, the toy robot moves 408 centimeters in 17 seconds. The right choice is the second one.
