To find out how long it will take Jesse to walk 26 miles, we can set up a proportion using the distance and time. Let's call the unknown time "t".
The proportion can be set up as:
16 miles / 3 hours = 26 miles / t hours
To solve for "t", we can cross-multiply:
16t = 3 * 26
16t = 78
Dividing both sides by 16:
t = 78 / 16
t ≈ 4.875
Therefore, it will take Jesse approximately 4.875 hours to walk 26 miles.
If Jesse can walk 16 miles in 3 hours how long will it take him to walk 26 miles
