How do you calculate how many meters short of a kilometer is 0.3 of a kilometer?

Answer 1

To figure out a question like this all the units we are dealing with need to be the same. So 1 kilometre and 0.3 kilometres need to be converted to metres - as we have to give the result in metres. Then we subtract one from the other. 1 kilometre = 1,000 metres 0.3 kilometres = 300 jmetres 1,000 - 300 = 700 So 0.3 kilometres is 700 metres short of a kilometre.
