Question

Jamal ran 7 kilometers, sprinted 400 meters, and climbed bleachers for a distance of 1.6 kilometers during track practice. How many meters, in total, did he travel during practice?

Answer 1

1 kilometer=1000 meter
7 kilometers=1000 times 7=7000 meters
400 meters=400 meters
1.6 kilometer=1.6 times 1000 meterr=1600 meter

total=7000+400+1600=9000 meters

Answer 2

First, convert 7 kilometers to meters, which is 7000 meters.
Add that to 400, and now you he ran 7400 meters.
Now convert 1.6 kilometers to meters, which is 1600 meters.
Add that to 7400, and the total is 9000 meters.

Hope this helped!
