Question

(GIVING BRAINLIEST!!!)

Answer 1

Answer:

$Total\ length = 8\frac{5}{8}\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for ski trails

Required

Total length of $2\frac{7}{8}$ ski trails

From the attached figure, there are 3 skis with length $2\frac{7}{8}\ miles$

So:

The total length is:

$Total\ length = 3 * 2\frac{7}{8}$

Express fraction as improper fraction

$Total\ length = 3 * \frac{23}{8}$

$Total\ length = \frac{3 *23}{8}$

$Total\ length = \frac{69}{8}$

$Total\ length = 8\frac{5}{8}\ miles$
