Final answer:
To find the length of the train's journey, set up a proportion comparing the distance traveled to the percentage completed. Solve for x to find the length of the trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of the train's journey, we can set up a proportion by comparing the distance traveled to the percentage completed. We know that the train has completed 24% of its journey and has traveled 360 kilometers. Let's set up the proportion:
(24/100) = x/360
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
24 * 360 = 100 * x
8700 = 100 * x
Divide both sides by 100 to isolate x:
x = 8700/100
x = 87 kilometers
Therefore, the length of the trip is 87 kilometers.
