The Nguyen family is driving to a national park. On the first day they drive 186 km. On the second day they drive 42,500 m. What is their total driving distance in kilometers?
Convert the second day to kilometers: 42,500 m÷1000=42.5 km 42,500 m÷1000=42.5 km.

For a school fundraiser, Priya is making a big batch of fruit punch. The recipe calls for 2.75 L of orange juice, 500 mL of lemon juice, and 1.25 L of sparkling water. How many milliliters of punch will she make in all?
Convert both liter amounts to milliliters:
2.75 L×1000=2750 mL2.75 L×1000=2750 mL
1.25 L×1000=1250 mL1.25 L×1000=1250 mL
Add all three (the lemon juice is already in mL):
2750+1250+500=4500 mL2750+1250+500=4500 mL
An airline allows each passenger 15 kg of checked luggage. Marcus packs one suitcase with a mass of 8 kg 600 g and a backpack with a mass of 3 kg 950 g. What is the total mass of his luggage in kilograms, and how much under the 15 kg limit is he?
Convert the gram parts to kilograms: 600 g = 0.6 kg and 950 g = 0.95 kg
8+ .6= 8.6 kg Suitcase
3+ .95= 3.95 kg Backpack
8.6+3.95= 12.55 kg
15- 12.55= 2.45 kg
