Answer: The best estimate of the number of miles that Alexia run is 4 miles.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of lap is given by

$1(3)/(8)\ miles$

Number of laps around her neighborhood = 3

So, Total number of miles that Alexia ran is given by

$1(3)/(8)* 3\\\\=(11)/(8)* 3\\\\=(33)/(8)\\\\=4(1)/(8)\ miles\approx 4\ miles$

Hence, the best estimate of the number of miles that Alexia run is 4 miles.
