on a map, a nature-center trail is 9.3 cm. If the scale is 3 cm to 44 cm, what is the actual length of the trail.
------
3 cm --> 44 cm
9.3 = 3.1 times 3
--> 3.1 time 44 = 136.4 cms
=====================
Or,
3/9.3 = 44/d
3d = 409.2
d = 136.4 cm
----------------
That's not a very long trail. 2 steps should do it.
