B.
Paula ran 950 meters farther than Omar.
C.
Omar ran 3,875 meters farther than Paula.
D.
Paula ran 3,875 meters farther than Omar.
A. Omar ran 950 meters farther than Paula.
To compare their distances, we need to convert them to the same unit. Since we are asked for the difference in meters, let's convert Paula's distance from kilometers to meters:
Paula ran 3 km = 3,000 meters.
Now we can subtract:
4,200 meters - 3,000 meters = 1,200 meters
Therefore, Omar ran 1,200 meters farther than Paula. This means that option A is correct.
To compare the distances Paula and Omar ran, we should convert 3 kilometers to meters:
3 kilometers = 3 * 1000 = 3000 meters
So, Paula ran 3000 meters.
Comparing the distances:
Omar ran 4200 meters.
Now let's calculate the difference:
4200 meters - 3000 meters = 1200 meters
So, Omar ran 1200 meters farther than Paula.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. Omar ran 950 meters farther than Paula.
