Carter lives 3 kilometers away from the school. Kyle lives 2000 meters farther away from the school then Carter does.How many meters away from the school does Kyle live.

Answer 1

Kyle's house is 5000 m away from the school.

Explanation:

Carter lives 3 kilometers away from the school and Kyle lives 2000 meters farther away from the school then Carter does.

Simply put, Kyle lives an extra 2000 meters plus the distance of Carter's house from the school.

So, we simply need to add the two distances given to us to the find our answer.

Let us put the distance of Carter's house in metres:

1 km = 1000 m

=> 3 km = 3 * 1000 m = 3000 m

Hence, the distance of Kyle's house from the school is:

3000 m + 2000 m = 5000 m

Kyle's house is 5000 m away from the school.
