Answer:

1

Explanation:

its simple because if its every 58 miles then you would want to subtract since the numbers are so close together so it would be 75-58=17 and there is not enough to subtract so i would be 1.17 if you divided but since you cant put a .17th of a sign up then it would just be 1

Answer:

Only one because if it's every 58 miles the next one would be at 116 miles which is higher than 75
