Question

Bertie rode 3.5 kilometers on a bike. Valene rode 2000 meters on a bike. How many more kilometers did Bertie ride than Valene?

Answer 1

Answer: Bertie rode 1500 more meters than Valene.

Explanation:

1. Since we know that 1 kilometer=1000 meters, we can simply use the equation 3.5 x 1000, because Bertie rode 3.5 kilometers.

2. 3.5 x 1000 = 3500, so we now know that Bertie rode 3500 meters.

3. To find out how many more meters Bertie rode on his bike, we can use the equation 3500-2000, which is equal to 1500.

4. Bertie rode 1500 more meters than Valene.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Lets start by converting 3.5 kilometers to meters. one kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters. so:

3.5 kilometers x 1,000 = 3,500 meters

if bertie rode 3,500 meters and valene rode 2,000 meters, then we can do:

3,500-2,000=1,500

our answer is 1,500
