Question

Fiona starts at the beginning of a hiking trail and walks `4/5` mile. She counts the mileage markers that are placed every `1/10` mile along the trail. How many markers does she count?

Answer 1

8 markers.

Explanation:

You will just divide the distance travelled by Fiona with the length of interval when a marker will be located.

number of markers =

`=((4)/(5))/((1)/(10))`

`=((4)/(5))xx ((10)/(1))`

`=((40)/(5))`

`=8`
