Question

Carson is hiking a trail that is 12 kilometers long. one-fourth of the way through the course, he stops to rest. how many meter does carson have left to hike on the trail after he rests?​

Answer 1

9000 m

Explanation:

One: Note that the answer is supposed to be in meters. It's easier if we just convert the 12 kilometers to meters now so we dont' have to worry about it later. 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters, so all we need to do is add three zeros to the end to make it meters:

12km=12,000m

Two: 1/4 means to divide by 4: 12,000/4= 3,000.

Three: The question is asking how much is LEFT. So we would do 12,000-3,000, which is 9000.
