In this you neeed to know how many meters are in a kilometer ..which is 1000 .....8 laps is 400 meters x 8 or 3200 meters ...divide that by 1000 and you get 3.2 kilometer

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes. Good job. Now. in 1 kilometer there are 1000 meters. so the next step is figuring out how many kilometers 3200 meters is . The problem for that is 3200/1000 = ? . What is that?
