The Peachtree Road Race is a 10-kilometer run held annually in Atlanta, Georgia. How many meters long is this run? (1 km = 1000 m)

Answer 1

Answer: 10,000m

Explanation:

The Peachtree Road Race is for a distance of 10 km.

Question wants this distance in meters.

There are 1,000 meters in every kilometer so to convert this, you can use direct proportion:

1km : 1,000m

10km : x

Cross multiply and end up with:

1x = 10,000 m

x = 10,000m
