CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. One turn covers one circumference: πd=227×56=176\pi d = \frac{22}{7} \times 56 = 176 cm.

  2. 440 turns cover 440×176=77,440440 \times 176 = 77{,}440 cm.

  3. 77,440 cm = 774.4 m.

Worth noting

387.2 m uses the radius in place of the diameter (πr), and 77.44 m and 7.744 m slip zeros when changing centimetres to metres (100 cm = 1 m).
