Question

To practice for a competition, George swam 720 meters in the pool each day for 2 weeks. How many kilometers did George swim in those 2 weeks? 1 m = 0.001 km

Answer 1

Answer:

10.08 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First we multiply meters swan each day with the number of days swam.

720 meters * 14 days = 10,080 meters

Then we convert the meters into kilometers by multiplying the meters by the conversion rate.

10,080 meters * 0.001 (conversion rate from meters to kilometers) = 10.08 km

Hence, George swam 10.08 km in those two weeks.

Answer 2

10,080,000 (because 720×14, the total number of days he swam in two weeks, is 10,080 and then you divide it by .001, the number of kilometers in one meter, which gives you 10,080,00.)
