1 answer

To find how many track practices it would take for Brendan to run 10 miles, we can set up a proportion using the given information:

8 miles / 4 track practices = 10 miles / x track practices

Cross-multiplying, we get:

8x = 40

Dividing both sides by 8, we have:

x = 5

Therefore, it would take Brendan 5 track practices to run 10 miles.
