Answer:

The new mile marker is 1.4 mile

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Current\ Stop = 1.3\ mile[/tex]

[tex]Distance\ Walked = \frac{1}{10}\ mile[/tex]

Required

Determine the new mile marker

I'll assume that the park is towards the positive direction;

Hence, the new mile marker is calculated as follows:

[tex]Mile\ Marker = Current\ Stop + Distance\ Walked[/tex]

[tex]Mile\ Marker = 1.3\ mile + \frac{1}{10}\ mile[/tex]

[tex]Mile\ Marker = 1.3\ mile + 0.10\ mile[/tex]

[tex]Mile\ Marker = 1.4\ mile[/tex]

Hence, the new mile marker is 1.4 mile
