Answer 1

Answer: Fiona count 8 markers.

Explanation:

It is given that Fiona starts at the beginning of a hiking trail walks 4/5 mile she counts the mileage markers that are placed every 1/10 mile along the trail.

Let Fiona count x markers.

If markers are placed every $\frac{1}{10}$ mile, So, after counting x markers Fiona will cover $\frac{1}{10}(x)$ miles.

It is given that Fiona covers $\frac{4}{5}$ miles.

$\frac{x}{10}=\frac{4}{5}$

$x=\frac{4}{5}\times {10}$

$x=\frac{40}{5}$

$x=8$

Therefore, the number of markers counted by Fiona is 8.
