Jim ran 15 miles in 5 days. At this rate, how many days will it take Jim to run 165 miles?

55 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jim ran 15 miles in 5 days

no. of miles ran in 5 days = 15 miles

dividing LHS and RHS by 5

no. of miles ran in 5/5(=1) days = 15/5 miles = 3 miles

no. of miles ran in 1 day =  3 miles

let the no. of days taken to run 165 miles be x   A

No of miles ran in x days = x*no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3x miles

thus,  From A

3x  = 165

x = 165/3 = 55

Thus, it took 55 days for JIM to run 165 miles
