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

Question

-- I really don't understand how to concer this. Please help!

Answer 1

1 mile = about 1.61 km.

Multiply: 25,000 * 1.61 = ? km

1 km = 1,000 m

Multiply your km answer by 1,000.

Answer 2

To be more accurate for the meters --

1 mile = 1 609.344 meters

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

Answer 3

ok um im still a little confused.

is kg and km the same thing as kilometers?

and...
are those the steps you gave me to figure it out?

Answer 4

kg = kilogram (measures mass)
km = kilometer (measures distance)

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

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?
