Answer:

Salamander Trail is longer than Great Oak Trail

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The scale of the map is 36 mi = 6 cm

The length of Great Oak Trail = 4.5 cm

The scale of a different map is 24 mi = 3 cm

The length of Salamander Trail = 3.5 cm

Therefore, we have;

The actual length of Great Oak Trail based on the first map is given as follows;

36 mi = 6 cm

6 cm = 36 mi

1 cm = 36 mi/6 = 6 mi

4.5 cm = 4.5 × 6 mi = 27 mi

The actual length of Salamander Trail based on the second  map is given as follows;

24 mi = 3 cm

3 cm = 24 mi

1 cm = 24 mi/3 = 8 mi

3.5 cm = 3.5 × 8 mi = 28 mi

Therefore, Salamander Trail with an actual length of 28 mi is longer than Great Oak Trail which has an actual length of 27 mi.
