Question

Dylan and Spencer went looking for Dylan's lost dog. Dylan traveled 100 meters to the neighbor’s house, 1.5 kilometers to the pet store, and 310 meters to the park, where he found the dog. Spencer traveled 1,269 meters to the other side of town. How much farther did Dylan travel compared to Spencer?

Answer 1

1.5 kilometers=1,500 meters so 1,500+100=1600 and 1600+310=1,910 and 1,910-1,269=641 so 641 is the answer

Answer 2

So Dylan traveled a total of 
100 meters (to the neighbors house)
plus 1.5 kilometers which a kilometer means thousand meters so its really 1500 meters
plus 310 meters

For Dylans distance we can do 100 + 1500 + 310 = 1910
Specers distance is given which is 1269

To find the final answer we can do Dylans distance minus Spencers so 1910 - 1269 which equals 641.

The correct answer would be that Dylan traveled 641 meters farther than Spencer

Answer: 641
