Question

to practice for a competition, fernando swam 0.54 kilometer in the pool each day for 3 weeks. how many meters did fernando swim in those 3 weeks? 1km = 1,000 m solve this on paper. then check your answer on zearn. fernando swam meters in the pool in 3 weeks.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of days

There are 7 days in a week. For 3 weeks, the number of days is \(3\times7 = 21\) days.

Step2: Calculate the total distance in kilometers

Fernando swam \(0.54\) km each day. For 21 days, the total distance in kilometers is \(0.54\times21=\frac{54}{100}\times21=\frac{1134}{100}=11.34\) km.

Step3: Convert kilometers to meters

Since \(1\) km \( = 1000\) m, then \(11.34\) km in meters is \(11.34\times1000 = 11340\) m.

Answer:

\(11340\)
