Answer 2

3.5 miles

Explanation:

We need to convert the fraction into decimal and add up both in decimal form and then make our estimate (closest to the exact answer).

1 and 1/8th means 1.SOMETHING

Dividing 1 by 8 would give us:

1/8 = 0.125

Hence, 1 1/8th = 1.125

Total miles = 2.57 + 1.125 = 3.695

THis is closes to 3.5 miles. THis is the answer.
