Answer:
He could walk 173 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles in 10 days
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem let us use the ratio method
∵ Billy walked 52 miles in 3 days
∵ We need to find how many miles could he walk in 10 days
→ Use the ratio method
→ Miles → Days
→ 52 → 3
→ x → 10
→ x is the number of miles
→ By using cross multiplication
∵ x × 3 = 52 × 10
∴ 3x = 520
→ Divide both sides by 3 to find x
∴ [tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{520}{3}[/tex]
∴ x = 173 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles
∴ He could walk 173 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles in 10 days
