Shelby drew a map of the Appalachian trail. The scale was 5 centimeters represents 400 kilometers. The map shows the Appalachian trail to be 43.75 centimeters. What is the actual length of the Appalachian Trail?

Divide total centimeters on the map by the scale centimeters:

43.75 / 5 = 8.75

Multiply that result by the scale km:

8.75 x 400 = 3,500 km total.
