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

Answer:

Liz hiked 0.16 miles by herself.

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* (1)/(10)=(2)/(10)th of the total distance.

So, the distance that she covered by herself is,


=\text{Total distance}* \text{The portion she covered}


=0.8* (2)/(10)


=0.16 miles

Therefore, Liz hiked 0.16 miles by herself.
