Answer 1

Answer:
`(17)/(5)` miles

Explanation:

We can express a mixed fraction as an improper fraction.

The process is as follows:

`a(b)/(c)=(ac+b)/(c)`

The given mixed number =
`3\frac25` miles

This can be represented as

`3\frac25=(3*5+2)/(5)\\\\=(15+2)/(5)\\\\=(15+2)/(5)\\\\=(17)/(5)>1`

Hence, the required fraction=
`(17)/(5)` miles
