Question

Bob walks around a track that is 200 meters long. He walks 4(1)/(2) laps around the track. How many kilometers does Bob walk?

Answer 1

Bob walks 0.9 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the number of track laps to a distance in meters, we need to know the length of each lap. In this case, the track is 200 meters long. Since Bob walks 4(1)/(2) laps, we can multiply the number of laps by the length of each lap to find the total distance traveled. 4(1)/(2) laps * 200 meters/lap = 900 meters. To convert this distance to kilometers, we divide by 1000 since there are 1000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, Bob walks 0.9 kilometers.
