Question

The fence along the length of a ranch measures 4,450.5 meters and the fence along the width of a ranch measures 2,890 meters.

The length of the fence is how many kilometers longer than the width?



_______ km

Answer 1

Given:
Length = 4,450.5 meters
Width = 2,890 meters

1 kilometer = 1,000 meters

Length: 4,450.5 meters * 1km/1,000 meters = 4,450.5 km/1,000 = 4.4505km

Width: 2,890 meters * 1km/1,000 meters = 2,890 km/1,000 = 2.89 km

4.4505 km - 2.89 km = 1.5605 km

The length of the fence is 1.5605 km longer than the width of the fence.
