Answer 2

4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Use an expression:

$1.75 + $0.75m = $4.75 -Subtract $1.75 from both sides of the equation

$1.75 - $1.75 + $0.75m = $4.75 - $1.75

$0.75m = $3 -Now divide both sides by $0.75

$0.75m / $0.75 = $3 / $0.75

m = 4

So, they traveled 4 miles. Hope this helps! :)
