So, the equation according to the ratio of "number of packages" to "dental floss" will be.....
![(1)/(175)=(150)/(x)\\ \\ x= 175*150=26250](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/2780y8h6ciom7u9tc7dcn8ct9d1huqv89d.png)
So, the total length of the dental floss in 150 packages will be 26250 meters.
