Respuesta :

16 km ......... 10 miles

x km ............5 miles

x = 5×16/10 = 80/10 = 8 km

The number of km that are in 5 miles will be 8 km

If there are about 16 kilometers in 10 miles, this can be expressed as;

16km = 10 miles

In order to know the number of kilometers that are in 5 miles, we can write:

x km = 5 miles

Divide both expressions

16/x = 10/5

16/x = 2

x/16 = 1/2

2x = 16

x = 8

Hence the number of km that are in 5 miles will be 8 km
