Answers
Answer:
both are right his friend just converted metre into kilometre 1 kilometre is equals to to 1000 so that's why he divided 1480 by 1000 to convert it into kilometre
Answer :-
Akash said that the sound travel 1480m in one second in water whereas his friend said that sound travel only 1.48km in a second,both statemenets are right because Akash is telling the distance in meters and his friend is telling the same thing in kilometres.
☆Verification☆
1 Meter (m) is equal to 0.001 kilometre (km). To convert meters to km, multiply the meter value by 0.001 or divide by 1000.
Therefore 1480m = 1480/1000 = 1.48
Hence,by this we get to know that both Akash and his friend were right
