Answer: 400 meters per minute.

Formula to find average speed: total time / total distance

Total time taken is 2+4+1+3 which is 10 minutes.

Total distance traveled is 4 kilometers.

(Unitary method)

In 10 minutes Marco runs 4 kilometers.

In 1 minute Marco will run 4/10 (0.4)kilometers.

Now to convert 0.4 kilometers to meters,multiply it by 1000.

0.4 * 1000 is 400 meters

so the final answer is he will run 400 meters in 1 minute.
