Answer:

The result of subtracting 3 km 500 m from 10 km is 6500 m (Or expressed in kilometers: 6.5 km).

Explanation:

Hi,

We need to convert both measurements to the same unit (either km or meters) and then subtract:

Reminder:

1 km = 1000 m

=> 10 km = 10 * 1000 = 10000 m

=> 3 km 500 m = 3 * 1000 + 500 = 3500 m

Now we can subtract:

10000 m - 3500 m = 6500 m

The result of subtracting 3 km 500 m from 10 km is 6500 m (Or expressed in kilometers: 6.5 km).

Good luck!
