A man walks 10 miles in x hours
⇒ x hours = 10 miles
Find 1 hour:
x hours = 10 miles
To find 1 hour, we divide both sides by the quantity on the left-hand-side.
Divide both sides by x:
x ÷ x hour = 10 ÷ x miles
x ÷ x will give us 1:
1 hour = 10/x miles
Answer: 10/x miles

Given A man walks 10 miles = x hours. Now find 1 hour: x hours = 10 miles.
To find 1 hour, need to divide both sides by the quantity.
Divide both sides by x, x ÷ x hour = 10 ÷ x miles, x ÷ x = 1, so 1 hour = 10/x miles. So the correct answer is C.
