Answer 1

The Wright Flyer's last flight distance was 260 meters, which is 740 meters short of a kilometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Wright brothers named their first powered aircraft the Wright Flyer. The question is about calculating the distance the Wright Flyer flew in its last flight, which was 223 meters farther than the first flight, and determining how many meters short of a kilometer this distance is. The first flight distance was 37 meters, so to find the distance of the last flight, we would add 37 meters to 223 meters, resulting in a total of 260 meters.

A kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters, so to find out how many meters short the Wright Flyer's last flight was of a kilometer, we subtract 260 meters from 1,000 meters:

• 1,000 meters (1 kilometer) - 260 meters (last flight distance) = 740 meters short of a kilometer.
