ATQ

`{:}\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 .
