Answer:

1333.35 miles

Explanation:

Given: 800 miles in 3 days

To find: How far will he drive his car in 5 days?

Solution: If Ken drives his car 800 miles in 3 days, to find how many miles it will take him at the same rate, we need to divide 800 miles by 3 days


800 ÷
3 =
266.666666667

Simplified


266.67

Now that has been figured out, we need to multiply the result by the 5 days it will take Ken.


266.67 ×
5 =
1333.35

Hence, At the rate of 800 miles in 3 days, Ken will drive 1333.35 miles in 5 days.
