Question

Carl stops at the 1.3-mile marker for a drink of water.

Answer 1

Answer:

The new mile marker is 1.4 mile

Explanation:

Given

$Current\ Stop = 1.3\ mile$

$Distance\ Walked = \frac{1}{10}\ mile$

Required

Determine the new mile marker

I'll assume that the park is towards the positive direction;

Hence, the new mile marker is calculated as follows:

$Mile\ Marker = Current\ Stop + Distance\ Walked$

$Mile\ Marker = 1.3\ mile + \frac{1}{10}\ mile$

$Mile\ Marker = 1.3\ mile + 0.10\ mile$

$Mile\ Marker = 1.4\ mile$

Hence, the new mile marker is 1.4 mile
