13/5 would be the answer if it's not a multiple choice.

Answer:


x=(13\ miles* 1\ friend)/(5\ friends) =2.6\ miles

Explanation:

Hello

I think I can help you with this

we can define a relation between the total distance and the number of friends using a rule of three

Step one

Let

total distance (d) = 13 miles

Total friends = 5 friends

if


13\ miles = 5\ friends\\x\ miles = 1\ friend\\\\(13\ miles)/(5\ friends) =(x\ miles )/(1\ friend)\\ \\isolating\ x\\\\x=(13\ miles* 1\ friend)/(5\ friends) =2.6\ miles

I hope it helps , have a good day
