Answer:
He hiked 2.937 miles so far .
Step-by-step explanation:
Takafumi is hiking on a path that is 5 7/8 miles long.
There are 6 markers evenly posted along the path.
Length of path = [tex]\frac{47}{8}[/tex]
Distance between two markers = [tex]\frac{\frac{47}{8}}{6}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{47}{48}[/tex]
Distance between 1st marker and 4th marker = [tex]\frac{47}{48} \times 3[/tex]
= [tex]2.937[/tex]
Hence he hiked 2.937 miles so far .
