Question

The middle school is 2.72 Kilometers from Kim's house and 1.54 kilometers from Terri's house. How much farther in meter does Kim live from the middle school than Terri

Answer 1

Answer: 1,180 meters.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to subtract Terri's distance from the school (1.54) to Kim's distance from the school (2.72)

Mathematically speaking:

2.72 km - 1.54km = 1.18 km

Since the answer must be expressed in meters.

1000 meters = 1 kilometer

1.18 km x 1000 m/km = 1,180 meters.
