The total number of ski trails based on the information about the fraction is 12 ski trails.
How to calculate the fraction?
The difference in length between the longest ski trail and the shortest ski trail will be:
= 3 1/8 - 2 1/4
= 3 1/8 - 2 2/8
= 7/8 miles
The total length of the ski trials that are 2 7/8 miles long will be:
= 3 × (2 7/8)
= 3 × 23/8
= 69/8
= 8 5/8 miles
The sum of the shortest and longest trail will be:
= 3 1/8 + 2 1/4
= 3 1/8 + 2 2/8
= 5 3/8
Lastly, the longest ski trail isn't more than three times the shortest trail. Therefore, Eli is correct.
