So to run 10km, you need to run 6.25 times the trail. (Or 7 if you only accept whole numbers as answers, we need to round up).

How many times will you need to run this trail in order to run 10 kilometers?

If you run the trail x times, then you will run:

y = x*1mi

Now remember that:

1 mi = 1.6 km

Replacing that, we get the linear equation:

y = x*1.6km

Now we want to find the value of x such that:

x*1.6km = 10km

Dividing both sides by 1.6km

x = 10km/1.6km = 6.25

So to run 10km, you need to run 6.25 times the trail. (Or 7 if you only accept whole numbers as answers, we need to round up).
