we are given that a person runs 4/5 of a mile per day, that is:


N=(4)/(5)\text{ miles/day}

To determine the number of miles he runs in 8 days, we need to multiply the number of miles per day by 8, that is:


n=(4)/(5)\text{ miles/day(8days)}

Solving we get:


n=(32)/(5)\text{ miles}

in decimal notation this is:


n=6.4\text{ miles}
