A trail that is 1/2

mile long has 4 equally spaced signs along the trail.
what is the distance, in miles, between each
boxes to show the answer. if there is no whole number, put a 0 in
sign? move numbers to the
the first box.
08
10

Answer 1

The distance between each sign would be 1/8th of a mile.

Explanation:

To find where each should be placed and the distance between them we would have to multiply 1/2 by 1/4 because there are 4 signs.

1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8

Each sign should be placed 1/8 of a mile away from each other.

So, the first sign would be placed at 1/8 of the half mile, the second sign would be placed at 1/4 of the half mile, the third sign should be put at 3/8 mark of the half mile, and then the fourth sign would be placed at the 1/2 mile mark.

Fraction form:

Sign 1: 1/8 mile

Sign 2: 1/4 mile

Sign 3: 3/8 mile

Sign 4: 1/2 mile

In decimal form it would be:

Sign 1: 0.125 mile

Sign 2: 0.25 mile

Sign 3: 0.375 mile

Sign 4: 0.5 mile

Hope this helps!!
