Question

Ursula hiked 6 1/2 kilometers through the woods. How many decímeters did she hike ?

Answer 1

Answer:

65,000

Step-by-step explanation:

6 1/2

= 13/2

= 6.5

6.5 * 10,000

= 65,000

Answer 2

First ”kilo”meter means 1000 meters
”deci”meter means 10 meters

Notice there are 3 zeros in the kilo
There is one zero in the deci

Ursula hiked 6.5 kilometers, which is 6500 meters (6.5 x 1000)

6500 meters is 65000 decimeters (6500 x 10)

That's the LONG explanation.

The easiest way to get a answer is to simply move the decimal 4 places to the right. (that's one decimal place for each zero in the kilo and deck.

6.5 Moving your decimal --> 4 places is:

65,000.

Hope that helps.
