Question

Tom runs a distance of 500 metres.
George runs a distance of 4.25 kilometres.

Calculate how far they have run altogether.
Give your answer in metres.

Answer 1

Answer:

They run 4.75 km (4750m) together

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by Tom=500 m

distance travelled by George=4.25 km =4250m

therefore, distance traveled altogether =4250+500

=4750m (4.75km)

Answer 2

As per the details provided in the question.

In the above question, we have the details as follow.

The given data is Tom runs 500 metres.

And George runs 4.25 kilometres

We have to find the total distance they run altogether.

Here we have to use conversion property and add the same.

Thus converting kilometres into metres is as follow,

1 kilometre =1000meter

So, 4.25

$=1.25\times 1000\\=4250meter$

Adding the total distance run by tom and george is,

$=4250+500\\=4750meter$

Hence they both run 4750meter altogether.
