Since the velocity figure is measure in meters per minute, we need to convert our measure of time from seconds to minutes.
1 second = 1/60 minutes
10 seconds = 10/60 minutes or 1/6 minutes.
Multiply this time to the velocity in order to determine distance traveled.
77m/min * 1/6 min = 77/6 meters, or 12.8 meters.

77m = 60sec
x = 10sec
(10x77)%60= x
x ~ 12,83m in 10sec

10 s is 1/6 min so x=vt= 77times(1/6) meters=12.8 =13 meters
