turn the fractions into decimals-
3/10= 0.3 
5/10= 0.5 
then multiply the 2 
0.3x0.5=  .15 miles 
hope this helps!!

Answer: He hiked 4/5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the distance he hiked on the lake trail = 3/10 miles

While, the distance he hiked on the the rock trails = 5/10 miles,

Thus, the total distance he hiked

[tex]=\frac{3}{10}+\frac{5}{10}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3+5}{10}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{8}{10}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{4}{5}\text{ miles}[/tex]

Hence, He hiked 4/5 miles.
