I am pretty sure that it is 18 times 10

18*10=180

1/10 of the journey is 18 miles. To solve this, find out how long the journey is. What is given is only 1/10 of the journey, so multiply it with 10 to get 1.

1/10 x 10 = 1

Since you multiplied one with 10, you must multiply the other (18 miles) with 10 too

18 x 10 = 180

The whole journey is 180 miles.

hope this helps
