Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Carmen swims a total of 4000 4000 meters each week.
2. We need to convert meters to kilometers.
3. 1 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 1000 meters.

STEP 2

1. Define the conversion factor.
2. Set up the conversion calculation.
3. Calculate the total kilometers.

STEP 3

Define the conversion factor between meters and kilometers.
1 kilometer=1000 meters 1 \text{ kilometer} = 1000 \text{ meters}

STEP 4

Set up the conversion calculation using the conversion factor.
Kilometers swum=Total meters swumMeters per kilometer\text{Kilometers swum} = \frac{\text{Total meters swum}}{\text{Meters per kilometer}}

STEP 5

Substitute the known values into the conversion calculation.
Kilometers swum=4000 meters1000 meters per kilometer\text{Kilometers swum} = \frac{4000 \text{ meters}}{1000 \text{ meters per kilometer}}

STEP 6

Perform the division to find the number of kilometers.
Kilometers swum=4 kilometers\text{Kilometers swum} = 4 \text{ kilometers}
Carmen swims a total of:
4 kilometers\boxed{4 \text{ kilometers}}
