Question

An airplane covered 5 km and 365 m in the first test flight. In the second test flight, it covered 682 m. Calculate the total distance covered by the airplane in meters. (1 km = 1,000 m)

• A. 2,047 m
• B. 5,047 m
• C. 3,047 m
• D. 6,047 m

Answer 1

The correct option is D 6,047 m

Distance covered in the first test flight = 5 km and 365 m
Distance covered in the second test flight = 682 m

• 1 km = 1,000 m
• To calculate the total distance covered, we convert 5 km into m.
• To get the distance in m, we multiply 5 km with 1,000 (as 1 km = 1,000 m).
• $5\times 1,000=5,000m.$
• Thus, there are 5,000 m in 5 km.
• Now, the distance covered in the first test flight

$=5,000km+365m$
$=5,365m$

• The total distance covered by the airplane

= Distance covered in the first test flight + Distance covered in the second test flight
$=5,365m+682m=6,047m$

Hence, C is the correct option.
