Dante walks 9 kilometers on the treadmill. How many meters does Dante walk? A 0.9 m B 90 m C 900 m D \( 9,000 \mathrm{~m} \)

Dante's 9 kilometers translates into meters quite easily, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters. So, multiplying 9 by 1,000 gives you a whopping 9,000 meters! If you ever find yourself confused between kilometers and meters, just remember: a kilometer is like a big, friendly giant compared to a meter. Picture a giant standing tall and saying, "I've got 1,000 little friends with me!" That’s how kilometers and meters relate.
