At Point Pleasant Park, the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail, and the Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail. How many times as long as the Beginner’s Trail is the Advanced Trail? Write your answer as a decimal.
Let the length of the Beginner's Trail be x.
The length of the Medium Trail is 1.2x.
The length of the Advanced Trail is 3.6 * 1.2x = 4.32x.
Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
There are 78 cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms. Johnson used 12 of the sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake. How much sugar did she use?(1 point)
Let's assume the length of the Beginner's Trail is "x".
Then, the length of the Medium Trail would be 1.2 times the length of the Beginner's Trail, which is 1.2x.
And the length of the Advanced Trail would be 3.6 times the length of the Medium Trail, which is 3.6 * (1.2x) = 4.32x.
Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
To find how many times as long the Advanced Trail is compared to the Beginner's Trail, we need to follow these steps:
1. Start with the length of the Beginner's Trail.
2. Multiply the length of the Beginner's Trail by the factor representing the length of the Medium Trail.
3. Multiply the result from step 2 by the factor representing the length of the Advanced Trail.
Let's go through the calculations step by step:
Step 1: Let's assume the length of the Beginner's Trail is 'x'.
Step 2: Since the Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail, we multiply 'x' by 1.2:
Length of the Medium Trail = 1.2 * x
Step 3: Now, since the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail, we multiply the length of the Medium Trail by 3.6:
Length of the Advanced Trail = 3.6 * (1.2 * x)
= 4.32 * x
So, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
Therefore, the answer is 4.32 (written as a decimal).
