Answer:
Option B is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Margie hiked a 17 7/8 mile trail.
[tex]\texttt{Distance hiked by Margie = }17\frac{7}{8}=\frac{17\times 8+7}{8}=\frac{143}{8}mile[/tex]
She stopped every 3 2/5 miles to take a picture.
[tex]\texttt{Distance at which she stopped to take picture = }3\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3\times 5+2}{5}=\frac{17}{5}mile[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{Number of pictures taken = }\frac{\texttt{Distance hiked by Margie}}{\texttt{Distance at which she stopped to take picture}}\\\\\texttt{Number of pictures taken = }\frac{\frac{143}{8}}{\frac{17}{5}}=\frac{715}{136}=5.28[/tex]
So she can take maximum of 6 picture and minimum of 5 picture.
Option B is the correct answer
