The problem consists in finding the new length of a running trail knowing the original length and the extension required. So the new length will be equal to original length + extension. New length = 2.826 miles + 1.46 miles = 2.826 miles + 1. 460 miles (I added a 0 in the place of the thousandths for the second summand to make clear the sumation) = 4.286 miles. Then<span> the answer is 4.286 miles.</span>
you add up all the numbers to get the total then divied the single number (eg. 8) by the total. It will then show up as a decimal so in order to get rid of the decimal you multiply by 100. ( eg. 8 ÷50=0.16 → 0.16×100= 16 → 16% )
