Final answer:

To find out how many more kilometers it is to Destin, convert the meters to kilometers and subtract it from the total distance. To find out how many kilometers they have traveled, subtract the remaining distance to Destin from the total distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many more kilometers it is to Destin, we need to convert the meters to kilometers and subtract it from the total distance of 154 kilometers.

First, we need to convert 1000 meters to kilometers by dividing by 1000:

1000 meters ÷ 1000 = 1 kilometer

Next, we can subtract the 1 kilometer from the total distance:

154 kilometers - 1 kilometer = 153 kilometers

Therefore, it is 153 kilometers more to Destin.

To find out how many kilometers they have traveled, we subtract the remaining distance to Destin from the total distance:

154 kilometers - 153 kilometers = 1 kilometer

So, they have traveled 1 kilometer.
