Final answer:
To calculate the approximate difference between 1 mile and 2 km, convert both distances to meters. The difference is 390 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the approximate difference between 1 mile and 2 km, we need to convert the distances into the same unit. Since the question asks for the answer in meters, we will convert both 1 mile and 2 km to meters.
Given that 1 mile is equal to 1.61 km, we can calculate:
1 mile * 1.61 km/mile * 1000m/km = 1610 meters
Similarly, 2 km is equal to:
2 km * 1000 m/km = 2000 meters
Therefore, the approximate difference between 1 mile and 2 km is 2000 - 1610 = 390 meters.
