Leroy ran a total of 15 miles last month. He ran 5 eighths of a mile each day.how many days did he run

15 miles = x (5/8 miles per day)
divide both sides by 5/8 or multiply them by 8/5:
(8/5)*15 = x
therefore
x=24
hope this helps

number of days = distance run/rate of run
= 15/(5/8) unit mile canceled
= 24 days.

Assume that he ran for x days.
(5/8)x=15
solve for x
5x=15 x 8
5x=120
x=24 days.

x = number of days
(5/8)x = 15
x = (8/5)(15) = 24 days
