Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{10} miles=0.1 miles[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If the total distance [tex]D[/tex] Mick jogged is divided among five posts, we can write the following relation to find the distance [tex]x[/tex] between each post:
[tex]x=\frac{D}{5}[/tex]
Where [tex]D=\frac{1}{2} mile[/tex]
Then:
[tex]x=\frac{\frac{1}{2} mile}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{1}{10} miles=0.1 miles[/tex] This is the distance between each marker post.
