a) 4,329,000 meters
b) 4,359,000 meters
c) 4,239,000 meters
d) 4,369,000 meters

Answer 1

Tessa ran 13 km daily for 333 days, totaling 4,329,000 meters after converting kilometers to meters and multiplying by the number of days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many meters Tessa ran in all, we need to convert the distance from kilometers to meters and then multiply by the number of days she trained. Since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer, Tessa runs 13,000 meters each day. Over 333 days, Tessa's total running distance can be calculated as follows:

1. Multiply the daily running distance in meters (13,000 meters) by the number of days (333).
2. 13,000 meters/day × 333 days = 4,329,000 meters.

Hence, the correct answer to how many meters Tessa ran in all is 4,329,000 meters, which corresponds to option (a).
