Answer:

1.25 miles

Explanation:

Lisa takes a night walk after dinner every night.

She walks 1/4 mile in 2 minutes.

Distance = 1/4 mile

Time, t = 2 minutes

For covering 1 mile,

1/4 mile = 2 minutes

In 1 minute she will cover
$(1)/(8)\ \text{mile}$

For 10 minutes, she will cover
$(10)/(8)\ \text{mile}\ or\ 1.25\ \text{miles}$

So, she will cover 1.25 miles.
