Question

1) The table represents the relationship between a length measured in meters and th same length measured in kilometers. a. Complete the table. meters kilometers 1,000 1 3,500 500 b. Write an equation for converting the number of meters to kilometers. 75 1 X

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters:

1 km = 1000 m

So,

1m = 1/1,000 km

To complete the table, we can use the rule of three:

a) 1,000 m?

1m - 1/1,000 km

1,000m - x

x = 1/1000 * 1,000 = 1 km

As we can see, we only have to divide the measure in meters by 1000.

b) 3,500 m = 3,500/1,000 = 3.5 km

c) 500 m = 500/1,000 = 0.5 km

d) 75 m = 75/1,000 = 3/40 km = 0.075 km

e) 1 m = 1/1000 = 0.001 km

f) x = x/1,000 = 0.001x km

2)

The relation is:

Y = 0.001x

Where x is the measure in km and x in meter.
