On a MaP, The length of a nature-center trail is 8.2 centimeters. If the scale is 3 centimeters to 24 kilometers, what is the actual length of the trail?

3 answers

Set up this ratio, cross multiply, and solve for x.

3/8.2 = 8.2/x
The ratio should be 3/24=8.2/x
The answer would be 65.6 kilometers

Thanks for your help:-)
