John and Paul both run on the same track each morning. The ratio of the number of miles John runs to the number of miles Paul runs is 5:8

Let's say John runs 5x miles each morning.

And Paul runs 8x miles each morning.
In total, they run 5x + 8x = <<5x+8x=13x>>13x miles each morning.
That means they must run the length of the track a total of 13x miles, which means the ratio of the length of the track to the number of morning runs is 13x:1. Answer: \boxed{13}.

To find the number of miles John runs compared to the number of miles Paul runs, you need to determine their respective shares based on their given ratio.

Let's say John runs x miles. According to the ratio, Paul runs 8/5 times the number of miles John runs. Therefore, Paul runs (8/5) * x miles.

To find the actual values for x and (8/5) * x, you'll need more information or additional equations.

To determine the ratio of the number of miles John runs to the number of miles Paul runs, we need to find a common multiple of 5 and 8. The least common multiple of 5 and 8 is 40.

Therefore, let's assume that John runs 5 miles and Paul runs 8 miles.

To find the ratio of the number of miles John runs to the number of miles Paul runs, we can divide both values by their greatest common divisor.

The greatest common divisor of 5 and 8 is 1. Dividing both numbers by 1 yields:

John: 5 รท 1 = 5
Paul: 8 รท 1 = 8

So, the ratio of the number of miles John runs to the number of miles Paul runs is 5:8.
