The Pacific Crest Trail is a hiking trail that extends from Mexico to Canada and is about 2650 miles long. Suppose Xin hikes one thousandth, or 0.001, of the trail. About how far did she hike

Respuesta :

Answer:

Xin has hiked 2.65 miles of the trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of the trial hike = 2650 miles

portion of the trial Xin hikes = [tex]\frac{1}{1000}[/tex] of the trial.

We need find the distance she hiked.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

distance Xin hiked is equal to Distance of the trial hike multiplied by portion of the trial Xin hikes.

framing in equation form we get;

Distance Xin hike = [tex]\frac{1}{1000}\times 2650 = 2.65 \ miles[/tex]

Hence Xin has hiked 2.65 miles of the trial.
