Let’s solve this step by step.
We are converting distances from
kilometres (km) to
metres (m).
Remember:
→ 1 kilometre = 1000 metres
So, to convert km to m, we multiply the number of kilometres by 1000.
The map shows these distances between places:
- Scratchy Bottom to Durdle Door → 0.8 km
- Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove → 4.1 km
- Lulworth Cove to Mupe Bay → 1.7 km
- Mupe Bay to Tyneham → 3.7 km
Now let’s answer each question one by one.
---
1. It is _________ metres from Scratchy Bottom to Durdle Door.
Distance = 0.8 km
Convert to metres: 0.8 × 1000 =
800 metres
---
2. It is _________ metres from Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove.
Distance = 4.1 km
Convert to metres: 4.1 × 1000 =
4100 metres
---
3. It is _________ metres from Lulworth Cove to Mupe Bay.
Distance = 1.7 km
Convert to metres: 1.7 × 1000 =
1700 metres
---
4. It is _________ metres from Mupe Bay to Tyneham.
Distance = 3.7 km
Convert to metres: 3.7 × 1000 =
3700 metres
---
5. It is _________ metres from Scratchy Bottom to Mupe Bay.
This means adding up:
Scratchy Bottom → Durdle Door → Lulworth Cove → Mupe Bay
= 0.8 + 4.1 + 1.7 =
6.6 km
Convert to metres: 6.6 × 1000 =
6600 metres
---
6. It is _________ metres from Durdle Door to Tyneham.
Add:
Durdle Door → Lulworth Cove → Mupe Bay → Tyneham
= 4.1 + 1.7 + 3.7 =
9.5 km
Convert to metres: 9.5 × 1000 =
9500 metres
---
7. It is _________ metres from Scratchy Bottom to Lulworth Cove.
Add:
Scratchy Bottom → Durdle Door → Lulworth Cove
= 0.8 + 4.1 =
4.9 km
Convert to metres: 4.9 × 1000 =
4900 metres
---
8. It is _________ metres from Lulworth Cove to Tyneham.
Add:
Lulworth Cove → Mupe Bay → Tyneham
= 1.7 + 3.7 =
5.4 km
Convert to metres: 5.4 × 1000 =
5400 metres
---
9. It is _________ metres from Scratchy Bottom to Tyneham.
Add all segments:
0.8 + 4.1 + 1.7 + 3.7 =
10.3 km
Convert to metres: 10.3 × 1000 =
10300 metres
---
Final Answer:
1. 800
2. 4100
3. 1700
4. 3700
5. 6600
6. 9500
7. 4900
8. 5400
9. 10300
