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. k
Let's first denote the length of the Beginner's Trail as "x" (in some unit of length).
Then, the length of the Medium Trail is 1.2x (since it is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail).
Finally, the length of the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail, so it would be 3.6(1.2x) = 4.32x.
Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
There are 7/8
cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms. Johnson used 1/2
of the sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake. How much sugar did she use?
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to find 1/2 of 7/8 cup of sugar.
To multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together, and the denominators (the bottom numbers) together.
So, 1/2 * 7/8 = (1 * 7) / (2 * 8) = 7/16.
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar when she was preparing the dessert.
Let's denote the length of the Beginner's Trail as "x" units.
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 is 1.2 * x = 1.2x units.
Similarly, 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 determine how many times as long as the Beginner's Trail the Advanced Trail is, we divide the length of the Advanced Trail by the length of the Beginner's Trail:
4.32x / x = 4.32
Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
