Answer:

Nathan walks a total of 4.375 miles

Explanation:

  • The equation for distance is speed = distance ÷ time
  • Reaarange the equation to make distance the subject:

(multiply both sides by time)

Distance = Speed × Time

  • Finally, substitute the numbers into the equation and solve:

Distance = 2.5 × 1.75 = 4.375 miles
