Answer:

11.25 miles

Explanation:

From the above question,

1.6 kilometers = 1 mile

18 kilometers = x miles

Cross Multiply

1.6 kilometers × x miles = 18 kilometers × 1 mile

x miles = 18 kilometers × 1 mile/1.6 kilometers

x miles = 11.25 miles

Therefore, the measurement that is closest to the number of miles Miranda ran is 11.25 miles
