Question

Art walked 4.1 km in preparation for the Community Walk–a–thon. Bill walked 3600 m. How many more metres did Art walk than Bill?

Answer 1

Answer:

.5 more kilometres.

Step-by-step explanation:

3600 m = 3.6 km. 4.1 is .5 greater than 3.6

Answer 2

500 m

First you need to convert 4.1 km into meters.
1 kilometer (kilo=1000) equals 1000 meters, so to convert 4.1 kilometers into meters you need to multiply 4.1 x 1000

4.1 x 1000 = 4,100
4.1 km = 4,100 m

To find out how many more meters art walked than Bill, you need to subtract the amount of meters Bill walked (3600 m) from the amount of meters Art walked (4100 m).

4,100 - 3,600 = 500

Art walked 500 more meters than Bill
