Question

A cycling club plots a 4.2 kilometer route. How many meters does the route cover?

4200

Typed answer, rounded to a whole number.

Answer

Rationale

The meter is smaller than the kilometer. Multiply the route length by the conversion factor to express it in meters.

Worked solution: Multiply by the conversion factor: 4.2 × 1,000 = 4,200.
