Answer:
6 Miles
Step-by-step explanation:
What do we know: Linda hiked 10 miles last weekend, and she plans to walk 3/5ths of that next weekend.
Thus, we take 10 and multiply it by 3/5.
To understand it all better, let's write the equation like this, X will be the number of miles Linda plans to hike next weekend.
[tex]\frac{10}{1}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{30}{5}[/tex]
Afterwards we can simplify like so, factoring 5 from both the numerator and the denominator:
[tex]\frac{5(6)}{5(1)}[/tex]
The 5's in the numerator and denominator cancel out, leaving us with:
[tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex]
Or in simpler terms 6. Thus we can know that Linda will hike 6 miles next weekend.
