Question

Jamal ran 8 kilometers, sprinted 500 meters, and climbed bleachers for a distance of 1.5 kilometers during track practice. How many meters, in total, did he travel during practice?

Answer 1

1 kilometer=1000 meters so the 8 kilometers he ran would be 8000 meters then theres the 500 he sprinted. he climbed bleachers for 1.5 kilometers which would equal 1500 meters so 8000+500+1500=10,000. He traveled 10,000 kilometers.

Answer 2

Answer: He travelled 10,000 meters during practice

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to sum all the distances:

ran: 8 km

Sprinted: 500 meters

Climbed: 1.5 kilometers

We have to express all the distances in meters.

Since 1000 meters = 1 km

8 km x 1000= 8000 meters

1.5 km x 1000= 1500

Adding all the distances:

8000 m+ 1500m +500m = 10,000 meters

He travelled 10,000 meters during practice
