Thus, Joe traveled an approximate distance of 39370 feet.

Answer 2

1 km = 3280.84 feet.
One can get the conversion factor from kilometer to feet from the above deduction. To answer the second part of this question, the above conversion is definitely needed,
12 kilometers = 3280.84 x 12 feet
= 39370.08 feet.
So from the above deduction, it can be concluded that Joe traveled for a distance of 39370 feet.
