At track practice Fred runs the 440 meter dash 5 times a day, 5 days a week. How many kilometers does he run a week?
1 km = 1000 m
I'll be glad to check your answer.
11km
To find out how many kilometers Fred runs in a week, we need to multiply the distance he runs in a day (440 meters) by the number of times he runs that distance in a day (5) and then multiply that by the number of days in a week (5) since he runs for 5 days a week.
First, let's convert the distance from meters to kilometers. Since there are 1000 meters in a kilometer, we can divide the distance in meters by 1000 to get the equivalent distance in kilometers.
Distance in kilometers = (440 meters / 1000) kilometers = 0.44 kilometers
Next, we can calculate the total distance Fred runs in a week:
Total distance in a week = Distance in kilometers * Number of times he runs in a day * Number of days in a week
= 0.44 kilometers * 5 times * 5 days
= 11 kilometers * 5 days
= 55 kilometers
Therefore, Fred runs a total of 55 kilometers in a week.
