Question

Nicole is on the swim team. Each day she swims 850 m . How far does she swim in 9 days? Write your answer in kilometers.

Answer 1

Nicole swims 850 meters each day for 9 days, which totals 7650 meters. After converting meters to kilometers, we find that Nicole swims 7.65 kilometers in 9 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total distance Nicole swims in 9 days, we need to multiply the daily distance by the number of days and then convert the result to kilometers. Nicole swims 850 meters each day.

1. Multiply the daily distance by the number of days: 850 m/day × 9 days.
2. Calculate the total distance in meters: 850 m/day × 9 days = 7650 meters.
3. Convert meters to kilometers, knowing that 1 kilometer equals 1000 meters: 7650 m ÷ 1000 m/km.
4. The total distance swum in kilometers is 7.65 km.

Therefore, Nicole swims a total of 7.65 kilometers in 9 days.
