Explanation:

Let distance travelled by Nichol =x

${:}\longrightarrow$
$\sf {\frac {3}{5}}* x={\frac {3}{8}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$
$\sf {\frac {3x}{5}}={\frac {3}{8}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$
$\sf 8 (3x)=5×3$

${:}\longrightarrow$
$\sf 24x=15$

${:}\longrightarrow$
$\sf x={(24)/(15)}$

${:}\longrightarrow$
$\sf x=1.6$

$\therefore$ Nichol runs 1.6miles .
