To solve this, I will find out how many one-fifths there are in two miles.
The equation 2/1 ÷ 1/5 can show me the answer to this question.
I will have to flip the second fraction to make this into a multiplying fraction.
2/1 × 5/1 = ?
Now I have to multiply across:
2 × 5 = 10 and 1 × 1 = 1
The answer is 10/1, or in simple terms, 10.
There are 10 distant markers in the two-mile trail.
