The library is kilometer from Neil's school,
and if the track field is kilometer directly beyond the library,
so, school->library ->track field
distance from the school is the sum of the distance from the library and the track field

kilometer

Solution

The library is 250 meters from Neil's school, and the track field is 300 meters directly beyond the library.


Hence, the total distance from the school to the track field is  250 + 300 = 550 meters = 0.55 of a kilometer.    ANSWER

You may use this answer in meters or in kilometers - on your choice.
