Darrel exercises every day by walking 1000 meters and running 1 km.
How many meters does he cover each day?
Let's solve the problem step-by-step:
Darrel walks a distance of meters every day as part of his exercise.
Darrel also runs a distance of kilometer daily. To find this distance in meters, we use the conversion factor:
Thus, Darrel runs meters.
To find the total distance Darrel covers each day, add the distance he walks to the distance he runs:
Total distance = Walking distance + Running distance
Total distance =
Total distance = meters
Therefore, Darrel covers a total of meters each day.

Convert to meters:
\( 40 \) cm
Because you're mixing different units! It's like adding 1000 pennies + 1 dollar. You need to convert everything to the same unit first: either all meters or all kilometers.
Think of it this way: kilo means 1000, so 1 kilometer = 1000 meters. Just like 1 kilogram = 1000 grams!
Either way works! You could convert 1000 m to 1 km, then add 1 + 1 = 2 km. Just make sure your final answer matches what the question asks for.
The same principle applies: convert everything to the same unit first, then add. Always look up the correct conversion factor and double-check your work.
Yes! When you see mixed units, immediately identify what unit the answer should be in, convert everything to that unit, then perform your calculation.
