Answer: A

Explanation:

The easiest way to solve this problem would to first figure out how long it takes for Mak to run 1 mile. To do that, you would need to divide 50 by 4 which would give you 12.5. So, it takes Mak 12 and a half minutes to run 1 mile. From there, you would need to multiply 12.5 by 10 to get 125. Finally, you wold need to simplify 125 minutes to hours giving you 2 hours and 5 minutes.
