Question

Answer 1

The distance is 500 meters.

Explanation:

Given:

The distance from Jason’s house to school is 0.5 kilometer.

Now, to find the distance in meters.

1 Kilometer = 1000 meters.

So, as given in question 0.5 kilometer, we multiply with 1000 to get in metres:

`0.5\ kilometer`

`=0.5* 1000`

`=500\ meters.`

Therefore, the distance is 500 meters.
