Question

Liz is hiking a trail that is 0.8 miles long. Liz hikes the first 2 tenths of the distance by herself. She hikes the rest of the way with her friends. How far does Liz hike by herself ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Liz hiked 0.16 miles by herself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liz is hiking a trail that is 0.8 miles long. So the total length of her hiking is 0.8 miles.

Liz hiked the first 2 tenths of the distance by herself i.e she hiked $2\times \dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{2}{10}$th of the total distance.

So, the distance that she covered by herself is,

$=\text{Total distance}\times \text{The portion she covered}$

$=0.8\times \dfrac{2}{10}$

$=0.16$ miles

Therefore, Liz hiked 0.16 miles by herself.

Answer 2

I think that it is 0.16 because 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.16
