How many meters are in 5 kilometers?

  • A. 1000
  • B. 5000
  • C. 10000
  • D. 500
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 5 kilometers is equal to 5 1000 = 5000 meters. Choice A (1000) is incorrect because it represents the number of meters in 1 kilometer, not 5 kilometers. Choice C (10000) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 10 (not 5) by 1000. Choice D (500) is incorrect as it represents half the correct conversion value.
