Answer:

8 in total

Explanation:

8 miles in 4 track practices, that's 2 miles every practice, you just multiply or add. She needs 4 more track practices because 8 x 2 is 16, which is how many miles she runs every practice. If you put 4 more practices it would be 16 miles and 8 practices in total. Sorry if this didn't make sense or confused you, I'm not the best at explaining but you're answer for the total amount of practices is 8.
