To convert Mario's walking rate from miles per 10 minutes to miles per hour, we can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the rate of miles per minute:**

\[
\text{Miles per minute} = \frac{2332 \text{ miles}}{1010 \text{ minutes}} \approx 2.31 \text{ miles/minute}
\]

2. **Convert miles per minute to miles per hour:**

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we multiply the rate in miles per minute by 60:

\[
\text{Miles per hour} = 2.31 \text{ miles/minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} \approx 138.6 \text{ miles/hour}
\]

However, upon further analysis, we should simplify our calculations:

1. To convert directly from 10 minutes to 60 minutes:
- If Mario walks 2332 miles in 1010 minutes, then in 60 minutes (which is 6 times more than 10 minutes), he would walk:

\[
\text{Miles in 60 minutes} = \frac{2332 \text{ miles}}{1010 \text{ minutes}} \times 60 \text{ minutes}
\]

Simplifying this:

\[
= \frac{2332 \times 60}{1010}
\]

Next, we can calculate:

\[
\frac{2332 \times 60}{1010} \approx 138.6 \text{ miles/hour}
\]

3. Rounding off gives a walking rate of approximately 138.6 miles per hour.

This doesn't match the choices given. Let's check through a straightforward conversion to ensure everything aligns accurately,

Recall, every "10 minutes," when equated to 60 minutes, would be multiplied by 6.

Hence, the answer is about:

\[
\frac{2332}{1010/60} = \frac{2332 \times 6}{1010}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\( = \frac{2332 \times 6}{1010} = \frac{13992}{1010} \approx 13.85 \)

None of these calculations show the options in A, B, C or D correctly.

I would advise you to double-check calculations or options—you may have mistaken some figures. Based on the calculations, Mario does indeed walk much slower than 138.6 miles/hour, probably toward something in the order of a few miles an hour.

If you need clarity on this meaning or further scenarios, please feel free to ask for more context!
