Answer:

Explanation:

Given information,

→ Ethan took 1 hour to walk 3 miles.

Now we have to,

→ Find the duration to cover 5 miles.

Let us assume that,

→ Need duration = H

Forming the equation,

→ 3/1 = 5/H

Then the value of H will be,

→ 3/1 = 5/H

→ 5/H = 3/1

→ 5 = 3 × H

→ 3H = 5

→ H = 5/3

→ [ H 1.67 ]

Hence, the answer is 1.67.
