Answer:Nash ran 6 miles and walked 20 miles.

Explanation:

Note: Consider we need to find the number of miles he ran and the number of miles he walked in the first week.

Total distance = 26 miles every week.

Ratio of the number of miles he ran to the number of miles he walked is 3:10.

Let he ran 3x miles and walked 10 x miles. So,

Total distance = 3x+10x

Divide both sides by 13.

The value of x is 2.

Number of miles he ran = 3(2) = 6 miles

Number of miles he walked = 10(2) = 20 miles

Therefore, Nash ran 6 miles and walked 20 miles in the first week.
