3. Linda, Laura, Loraine, and Lila run on a relay team. Each runs 0.5 kilometers. How fa
   does the team run altogether?

The team runs a total of 2 kilometers altogether since each of the four runners (Linda, Laura, Loraine, and Lila) runs 0.5 kilometers. So, 0.5 km multiplied by 4 runners equals 2 km. It’s like a mini marathon where each teammate passes the baton to the next – teamwork makes the dream work!

If you’re ever puzzled about conversions in running, remember that 1 kilometer equals 1,000 meters. So, if you’re counting how far they run in meters, just multiply 2 kilometers by 1,000 to find they’ve covered a fantastic 2,000 meters! This can be a fun way to visualize the distance if you’re a metric fan.
