Can you explain to me. just explain to me. don't tell me the

Each part of the race is 1/10 of a mile. And Marsha finishes 5 parts. Every time you complete a checkpoint, you finish that part of the race. If you only finish one part, then you only completed 1/10 of the race. If two, then 2/10. And so one.

Or we can multiply 1/10 by 5.

1/10 * 5 = 5/10

Now simplify it.

5/10 = 1/2

So, the answer to this question would be C 1/2 mile.
