Jamal ran 8 kilometers, sprinted 500 meters, and climbed bleachers for a distance of 2 kilometers during track practice. How many meters did he travel during practice?




Answer :

you need to convert all units to meters, then add.
8 km = 8000 m
2 km = 2000 m
500 m stays the same
8000m+2000m+500m=10,500m
