Answer:

1.25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of trail. We have been given that after Paul hiked \frac{5}{6} of a mile, he was \frac{5}{6} of the way along the trail.  

Let need to find x such that \frac{2}{3} of x equals \frac{5}{6}.  

\frac{2}{3} x=\frac{5}{6}

x=\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}

x=\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}  

x=\frac{5}{2\times 2}

x=\frac{5}{4}  

x=1\frac{1}{4}=1.25  

Therefore, the trail is 1.25 miles long.

What is 10^-3 in math
Alborosie
It is 1/1000 or 1/10∧-3
that is because whenever there is a negative exponent put it as the denominator and the numerator by default, if there isn't any, should be one. 
so put it under and then figure it out
