The circumference of the earth is 25,000 mi at the equator. What is the circumference in kilometers? in meter?

-- I really don't understand how to concer this. Please help!
Answered by Ms. Sue
1 mile = about 1.61 km.

Multiply: 25,000 * 1.61 = ? km

1 km = 1,000 m

Multiply your km answer by 1,000.
Answered by Ms. Sue
To be more accurate for the meters --

1 mile = 1 609.344 meters

Multiply: 25,000 * 1,609.344 = ? m

Answered by Ms. Sue
kg = kilogram (measures mass)

Yes. Follow the steps I gave you to find the answers.

thanks for clearing that up for me!

when i multiplied km by 1000 i ended up getting 40250000

but when i mutiplied 25000x1609.344 i ended up getting 40233600

Which one is the right answer?
Answered by Ms. Sue
The more accurate answer is 40,233,600 meters. But many teachers would probably accept the other answer, also.
