Question

Caleb is doing an obstacle course in gym class. First, he runs 500 meters and jumps over a hurdle. Then, he crawls through a 20-meter tunnel. Finally, he dribbles a soccer ball 100 meters to the finish line. How many kilometers long is the obstacle course?

Answer 1

Answer: An obstacle course is a series of challenging physical obstacles that must be completed in order to finish the course. To find out how many kilometers long the obstacle course is, you need to add up the distance that Caleb runs, jumps crawls, and dribbles.

First, we need to convert the 500 meters to kilometers by dividing it by 1000.

500 meters / 1000 = 0.5 kilometers

Then, we need to add the distance that Caleb crawls through the tunnel, which is 20 meters.

20 meters = 0.02 kilometers

Finally, we need to add the distance that Caleb dribbles the soccer ball, which is 100 meters.

100 meters = 0.1 kilometers

To find the total distance of the obstacle course, we need to add the distance that Caleb runs, jumps, crawls, and dribbles:

0.5 + 0.02 + 0.1 = 0.62 kilometers

So the obstacle course is 0.62 kilometers long.
