hello

the distance or length of the path is 8 miles.

Max is 375% of the way to the end. Let's find he distance of 375% on 8 miles


\begin{gathered} 375\text{ \% of 8} \\ (375)/(100)=(x)/(8) \\ \text{cross multiply both sides} \\ 100* x=375*8 \\ 100x=3000 \\ (100x)/(100)=(3000)/(100) \\ x=30 \end{gathered}

from the calculation above, Max is 30 miles away from the path
