how many degrees did the hiker turn?
\\(\square^\circ\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall full - turn degrees

A full turn (a complete circle) is $360^{\circ}$.

Step2: Calculate the turn degrees

The hiker made a $\frac{1}{10}$ turn. To find the number of degrees, we multiply the number of degrees in a full turn by the fraction of the turn. So we calculate $360\times\frac{1}{10}$.
$360\times\frac{1}{10}=\frac{360}{10} = 36$

Answer:

36
