Question

Answer 1

24?

Explanation:

6 is 25 so mulitplie 6x4 there 24

Answer 2

Total number of hikes in the state park = 24

Explanation:

Let the number of trails available in the state park = t

Since, Brenda has completed 25% of the total trails, number of trails completed by her = 25% of t

=
`(25)/(100)* t`

= 0.25t

As per ranger she has completed 6th hiking trail,

6 = 0.25t

t =
`(6)/(0.25)`

t = 24

Therefore, total number trails to hike in the state park = 24.
