Given the scale is 1 cm to 25 km.
We have to find the length of the trail from centimeter to the nearest tenth of kilometer.
Let's take the length of the trail be x km.
The length of the trail given 7.2 cm. We will have to find the length in km.
We have to set it up as a proportion. So we can write the proportion as,
We have to cross multiply first. We will get,
So we have got the required length of the train in kilometer.
The actual length of the trail = 180km.
I'm going to assume that you are trying to find the two numbers. Based on the information in the problem, we can create the following equations (where and
are the two numbers):
We have a systems of equations. In this case, it would be easier to use elimination by adding vertically. This produces the result:
To find , substitute the value for
into one of the earlier equations:
The two numbers are 12 and 18.
