To find the distance moved in 150 seconds, we can use the proportion:

Distance moved in 10 seconds/10 = Distance moved in 150 seconds/150

4,600/10 = Distance moved in 150 seconds/150

460 = Distance moved in 150 seconds/150

Cross-multiply:

Distance moved in 150 seconds = 460 * 150

Distance moved in 150 seconds = 69,000 meters

Therefore, the correct answer is 69,000 meters.
