Question

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

Answer 1

Let's let the length of the Beginner's Trail be "x".

The Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail, so it is 1.2x.

The Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail, so it is 3.6 * 1.2x = 4.32x.

Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
