Answer:
The actual trail length is 2.5 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve this. 0.5 inches on the scale = 1 mile. Since the trailer is 1.25 inches long on the scale, let's first multiply 0.5 by 2. You would get 1 inch on the scale, which would be 2 miles.
2 miles = 1 inch on the scale. But it says 1.25, so since 0.5 inches is 1 mile, then 0.25 inches is 0.5 miles. Add 2 miles and 0.25 miles, and you will get 2.5 miles.
The trailer length is 2.5 miles.
