The distance from Jason's house to school is 0.5 kilometer. What is this distance in meters?
If the distance from Jason's house to school is 0.5 kilometers then the distance from Jason's house to school is I think 500 meters
1 kilometer is 1000 meters. .5 is half of 1 kilometer. so that means you need to cut the number of meters in half as well. 1/2 of 1000 is 500 so .5 kilometers is equal to 500 meters.
