Final answer:

Mark has 4/5 of an hour to make flyers and takes 1/10 of an hour to make one flyer. By dividing the total time by the time for one flyer (4/5 divided by 1/10), we determine that Mark can create 8 flyers in the time he has.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to determine how many flyers Mark can create given the amount of time he has and the time it takes to make one flyer.

Mark has 4/5 of an hour to make flyers, and it takes him 1/10 of an hour to make one flyer. To find out how many flyers he can make, we divide the total time he has by the time it takes to make one flyer:

  • Total time available = 4/5 hour
  • Time to make one flyer = 1/10 hour

By dividing these two fractions (4/5 ÷ 1/10), we find the number of flyers Mark can make:

Number of flyers = (4/5) ÷ (1/10) = (4/5) × (10/1) = 40/5 = 8 flyers

Therefore, Mark can make a total of 8 flyers in 4/5 of an hour.
