Bryan runs 0.5 kilometers afters school for 12 days. How many meteng does Bryan run during the 12 days? A. 6.0 m B. \( 6,000 \mathrm{~m} \) C. 1200 m

Over 12 days, if Bryan runs 0.5 kilometers each day, we first need to convert kilometers to meters. Knowing that 1 kilometer equals 1,000 meters, Bryan runs 0.5 km daily, which is 500 meters. Multiplying this by 12 days gives us a total of 6,000 meters. So the correct answer is B. \( 6,000 \mathrm{~m} \). To visualize this, think about it as a long, winding track. If Bryan ran around a standard 400-meter track, he would have completed 15 laps by the end of those 12 days! That’s quite a marathon of after-school runs, punctuated by the sound of sneakers on pavement and maybe even some awesome tunes on his headphones!
