x = 1/8

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
1/10 scarf ------> 4/5 hour
x ------------------> 1 hour
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (1 / (4/5)) * (1/10)
Rewriting we have:
x = (5/4) * (1/10)
x = 5/40
x = 1/8
Answer:
A fraction of a scarf that alison can knit in 1 hour is:
x = 1/8
