A group of hikers walk to a lake near the park. They hike 2,408 meters to the lake. They take a shortcut back to the park that is 1,457 meters long. How many kilometers is their hike ?
(2,408 + 1,457) / 1,000 = ?
3.865. Thank you. Didn't know about / 1000
1000 meters = 1 kilometer
You're welcome.
To find out how many kilometers the hike is, we need to convert the given lengths from meters to kilometers.
1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters.
For the hike to the lake, which is 2,408 meters long, we can divide it by 1000 to convert it to kilometers:
2,408 meters / 1000 = 2.408 kilometers
Similarly, for the shortcut back to the park, which is 1,457 meters long, we can divide it by 1000 to convert it to kilometers:
1,457 meters / 1000 = 1.457 kilometers
Now, to find the total distance of the hike, we can add the distance to the lake and the distance of the shortcut:
2.408 kilometers + 1.457 kilometers = 3.865 kilometers
Therefore, the hike is 3.865 kilometers long.
