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. Show your work.
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.
To find the length of the Advanced Trail in relation to the Beginner's Trail, we need to calculate the length of each trail step by step.
Let's assign a variable to represent the length of the Beginner's Trail. Let's call it x.
According to the information given, the Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail. Therefore, the length of the Medium Trail can be expressed as 1.2x.
Similarly, the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail. So, the length of the Advanced Trail can be expressed as 3.6 * 1.2x.
To find how many times longer the Advanced Trail is compared to the Beginner's Trail, we can divide the length of the Advanced Trail by the length of the Beginner's Trail.
Advanced Trail length: 3.6 * 1.2x = 4.32x
Number of times longer: 4.32x / x = 4.32
Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
Let's start by assigning a variable to the length of the Beginner's Trail.
Let's say the length of the Beginner's Trail is x units.
According to the information given, the Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
So, the length of the Medium Trail is 1.2x units.
Also, the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail.
Therefore, the length of the Advanced Trail is 3.6 * (1.2x) = 4.32x units.
To find out how many times as long as the Beginner's Trail is the Advanced Trail, we need to divide the length of the Advanced Trail by the length of the Beginner's Trail.
So, the ratio of the length of the Advanced Trail to the Beginner's Trail is 4.32x / x = 4.32.
Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
