Answer 1

To find the difference between the distances Jose and Rene walked in centimeters, we convert their distances to centimeters and subtract them. The difference is 29200 centimeters, which is closest to option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the difference between the distances walked by Jose and Rene in centimeters, we need to convert their distances from meters and kilometers to centimeters.

Jose walks 378 meters, which is equal to 37800 centimeters (since 1 meter = 100 centimeters).

Rene walks 0.67 kilometers, which is equal to 67000 centimeters (since 1 kilometer = 100000 centimeters).

So, the difference between the distances they walked in centimeters is 67000 - 37800 = 29200 centimeters, which is closest to option A) 29 centimeters.
