    Answer:

    \boxed {\tt 4.2 \ miles}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let’s set up a proportion using the following setup:

    \frac{miles}{minutes}= \frac{miles}{minutes}

    We know Abdul can run 6 miles in 50 minutes.

    \frac{6 \ miles}{50 \ minutes}= \frac{miles}{minutes}

    We don’t know how many miles he can run in 35 minutes. Therefore, she can run x miles in 35 minutes.

    \frac{6 \ miles}{50 \ minutes}= \frac{x \ miles}{35 \ minutes}

    \frac{6 }{50 }= \frac{x }{35 }

    We want to solve for x ( miles ran in 35 minutes). We must isolate x on one side of the proportion. x is being divided by 35 and the inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 35.

    35*\frac{6 }{50 }= \frac{x }{35 }*35

    35*\frac{6 }{50 }= x

    35*0.12=x

    4.2=x

    x=4.2 miles

    He can run 4.2 miles in 35 minutes.
