Answer:

30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of days = d

in 1/3 of a day, or 1/3d, he drove 10 miles

The equation is:

[tex]10 = \frac13d[/tex]

To find out the number of miles driven in one whole day, we can multiply both sides by 3 or setting up a proportion

Method 1: Multiplying By 3

10 = 1/3d

10*3 = 1/3d * 3

30 = 1d

30 miles

Method 2: Proportions

[tex]\frac{10}{1} = \frac13[/tex]

10*3 = 1*1                 Cross multiply

30 = 1
