Answer:

75 miles

Explanation:

Given that distance between two towns = 120 km

Number of kilometers in 5 miles = 8 km approximately

Number of miles between the two towns :

Let number of miles between the two towns = d

Since ;

5 miles = 8 km

d miles = 120 km

Cross multiply

8 * d = 120 * 5

8d = 600

d = 600/8

d = 75 miles

Distance between the two towns is approximately 75 miles
