The total length of the dental floss in 150 packages will be 26250 meters.

Explanation

A package of dental floss has 175 m of floss.

Suppose, the number of meters of dental floss in 150 packages is $x$

So, the equation according to the ratio of "number of packages" to "dental floss" will be.....

$\frac{1}{175}=\frac{150}{x}\\ \\ x= 175*150=26250$

So, the total length of the dental floss in 150 packages will be 26250 meters.
