Answer: 2/5 feet

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Marty and Adam want to share 8/10 feet of rope, equally.

The amount of rope that each person would get would be calculated by dividing 8/10 by 2. This will be:

= 8/10 ÷ 2

= 8/10 × 1/2

= 8/20

= 2/5

Therefore, each person gets 2/5 feet of rope.
