So to run 10km, you need to run 6.25 times the trail. (Or 7 if you only accept whole numbers as answers, we need to round up).

<h3>How many times will you need to run this trail in order to run 10 kilometers?</h3>

If you run the trail x times, then you will run:

y = x*1mi

Now remember that:

1 mi = 1.6 km

Replacing that, we get the linear equation:

y = x*1.6km

Now we want to find the value of x such that:

x*1.6km = 10km

Dividing both sides by 1.6km

x = 10km/1.6km = 6.25

So to run 10km, you need to run 6.25 times the trail. (Or 7 if you only accept whole numbers as answers, we need to round up).
