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's assume the length of the Beginner's Trail is 1.
The length of the Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail, so the length of the Medium Trail is 1.2.
The length of the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail, so the length of the Advanced Trail is 3.6.
Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
Let's represent the length of the Beginner's Trail as "x".
According to the given information, the Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail. This means the length of the Medium Trail is 1.2 * x = 1.2x.
Now, the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail. So, 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.
