Question

Fred walk 1.2 km to the soccer field he walk 1.45 back home because she stopped to get a drink at the store how far did he walk in meters to the soccer field then back home.

Answer 1

Assuming the 1.45 was supposed to be labeled Km, first add 1.45 to 1.2 Km for the total kilometers walked.

1.45

+ 1.2 = 2.65 Km

Then convert kilometers into meters. There are 1000 meters in 1 Kilometer because kilo is the prefix for a thousand. Multiply because you are going from a bigger unit to a smaller unit. You need more smaller units to make up that larger unit. Therefore, 2.65 times 1000 is 2,650 meters.
