Answer 1

Answer: She must walk 750 meters to bus stop.

Explanation:

Given: Distance between Maritza's house and her school (A)= 12.5 kilometers. (Total distance)

Distnance between Bustop and school (B)= 11.75 kilometers

Distance she need to walk to reach bus stop = A - B

= 12.5 - 11.75 kilometers

= 0.75 kilometers

= 0.75 x 1000 meters [ 1 kilometer = 1000 meters]

= 750 meters

Hence, She must walk 750 meters to bus stop.
