Answer:

14000 cm

Explanation:

The distance between​ Carly's house and her​ friend's house is 70 meters.

If Carly walks to her​ friend's house and​ back, it is the same thing as saying that she walked a distance of 70 m twice.

The total distance she walked will therefore be:

70 + 70 = 140 m

The answer requires that it is in centimeters (cm).

Converting 140 m to centimetre:

1 m = 100 cm

140 m = 140 * 100 cm = 14000 cm

She walked a total of 14000 cm.
