a marathon race is 42.2km. what is the length of a marathon in meters? recall that 1000m= 1km.
42.2 * 1000 = ?
42.2
To find the length of the marathon in meters, we need to convert kilometers (km) to meters (m).
Given:
1 km = 1000 m
We are given that the marathon race is 42.2 km.
To convert km to m, we can use the conversion factor 1 km = 1000 m. By multiplying the given distance in km by the conversion factor, we can calculate the length of the marathon in meters.
Let's perform the calculation:
Length of the marathon = 42.2 km * 1000 m/km
Length of the marathon = 42,200 m
Therefore, the length of the marathon in meters is 42,200 m.
