Question

the tape diagram models the lengths of two snowboarding trails. the combined length of the trails is 2000 meters. how long is each trail? What is the beginner trail?

Answer 1

By a search on google, I've find that:

For the beginner's trail, there is only one rectangle. For Expert Trail, there are 4 rectangles.

Then in total, we have 5 rectangles.

We know that the combined length is 2000 meters, then the 5 rectangles are equivalent to 2000 meters.

Then each rectangle will be equivalent to:

2000m/5 = 400m.

Now, we know that the beginner's trail has one rectangle, then the length of the beginner's trail is 400 meters long.

The expert's trail has 4 rectangles, then it is:

4*400m = 1600m long.
