Question

Renee is walking to a store that is 2.5 kilometers from her house. After 700 meters, she stops at her friends house. What is the distance that Renee will walk from her friends house to the store?

Answer 1

The remaining distance that Renee will walk from her friend's house to the store is 1800 meters. This is calculated by converting the total distance to meters and subtracting the distance she has already walked.

Step-by-step explanation:

Renee needs to walk a total distance of 2.5 kilometers to the store from her house. She stops at her friend's house after walking 700 meters. To calculate the remaining distance Renee will walk from her friend's house to the store, we need to convert all distances to the same unit and then subtract the distance already traveled from the total distance.

• Total distance to the store from Renee's house: 2.5 km
• Distance Renee has walked before reaching her friend's house: 700 m

We need to convert 2.5 kilometers to meters since the unit of the remaining distance should match the unit of the distance already traveled. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer, so:

2.5 km = 2.5 × 1000 m = 2500 m

Now, we subtract the distance Renee has walked from the total distance:

2500 m - 700 m = 1800 m

Therefore, the distance that Renee will walk from her friend's house to the store is 1800 meters.
