Problema Solution
A baseball diamond measures 27 meters along each side. If a batter scored 2 home runs in a game, how many kilometers did the batter run?
Answer provided by our tutors
To make 2 home runs, the runner will have to run along 8 sides (4 per home run). Therefore, to find the total meters run we can write:
Run=8(27)m
Run=216m
However, we are asked to give the answer in km, so we will need to convert from m to km, using 1km=1000m. We can write:
Run=(216m)(1km/1000m)= 0.216 m
