Final answer:

To find the difference between the distances walked by Jose and Rene in centimeters, convert their distances to the same unit of measurement and calculate the difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between the distances walked by Jose and Rene in centimeters, we first need to convert their distances to the same unit of measurement. Jose walked 378 meters, and Rene walked 0.67 kilometers. To convert kilometers to meters, we multiply by 1000: 0.67 kilometers * 1000 = 670 meters. The difference in distance is then calculated by subtracting the two distances: 670 meters - 378 meters = 292 meters. To convert this to centimeters, we multiply by 100: 292 meters * 100 = 29,200 centimeters.
