Question

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Required Answer:-

Let distance travelled by Nichol =x

ATQ

${:}\longrightarrow$$\sf {\dfrac {3}{5}}\times x={\dfrac {3}{8}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$$\sf {\dfrac {3x}{5}}={\dfrac {3}{8}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$$\sf 8 (3x)=5×3$

${:}\longrightarrow$$\sf 24x=15$

${:}\longrightarrow$$\sf x={\dfrac{24}{15}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$$\sf x=1.6$

$\therefore$ Nichol runs 1.6miles .
