To answer this, we change how far Kim ran from kilometres into metres:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 1,000 metres in a kilometre. So we multiply 4.2km by 1000, to get the distance into metres:
4.2 x 1000 = 4200 meters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since Jason ran 325 metres farther than kim, we add 325 onto 4200:
4200 + 325 = 4535 metres ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: So Jason ran a 4,535 metres.
