Answer 1

Let's calculate the differences between the trail lengths:

1. North Trail vs South Trail:

   • North Trail = 16112 miles
   • South Trail = 1258 miles
   • Difference = 16112 - 1258 = 14854 miles

2. North Trail vs East Trail:

   • East Trail = 1089 miles
   • Difference = 16112 - 1089 = 15023 miles

3. North Trail vs West Trail:

   • West Trail = 916 miles
   • Difference = 16112 - 916 = 15196 miles

4. South Trail vs East Trail:

   • Difference = 1258 - 1089 = 169 miles

Now we can evaluate the statements:

1. The North Trail is about 5 miles longer than the South Trail. (False, it's actually 14854 miles longer)
2. The North Trail is about 312 miles longer than the South Trail. (False, it's 14854 miles longer)
3. The North Trail is about 3 1/2 miles longer than the South Trail. (False, it's 14854 miles longer)
4. The North Trail is about 9 miles longer than the West Trail. (False, it's actually 15196 miles longer)
5. The South Trail is about 3 miles longer than the East Trail. (False, the South Trail is actually 169 miles longer than the East Trail)

None of the statements provided are true.

Please double-check the trail lengths provided as the numbers seem inconsistent with typical hiking trail distances.
