Answer

$25 \text{ miles}$

Work Step by Step

The rate at which the camel travels is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{20\text{ miles}}{8\text{ hours}} \\\\= 2.5\text{ miles/hour} .\end{array} Hence, in $20$ hours, the distance the camel travels is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{2.5 \text{ miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot10\text{ hour} \\\\= \dfrac{2.5 \text{ miles}}{\cancel{\text{hour}}}\cdot10\cancel{\text{hour}} \\\\= 25 \text{ miles} .\end{array}
