Answer:

Lewis's friend walked with him 9/25 miles

Explanation:

Given that

And His friend accompanied him on 2/5 of the way.

This is a simple question of fraction multiplication

The fraction 2/5 has to multiplied with the miles walked by lewis

So


= (2)/(5) * (9)/(10)\\=(9)/(25)

Hence,

Lewis's friend walked with him 9/25 miles
