Answer:

He could walk 173
(1)/(3) miles in 10 days

Explanation:

To solve this problem let us use the ratio method

∵ Billy walked 52 miles in 3 days

∵ We need to find how many miles could he walk in 10 days

→ Use the ratio method

→ Miles → Days

→ 52 → 3

→ x → 10

→ x is the number of miles

→ By using cross multiplication

x × 3 = 52 × 10

∴ 3x = 520

→ Divide both sides by 3 to find x


(3x)/(3)=(520)/(3)

x = 173
(1)/(3) miles

He could walk 173
(1)/(3) miles in 10 days
