Answer 1

Answer: The best estimate of the number of miles that Alexia run is 4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of lap is given by

$1\dfrac{3}{8}\ miles$

Number of laps around her neighborhood = 3

So, Total number of miles that Alexia ran is given by

$1\dfrac{3}{8}\times 3\\\\=\dfrac{11}{8}\times 3\\\\=\dfrac{33}{8}\\\\=4\dfrac{1}{8}\ miles\approx 4\ miles$

Hence, the best estimate of the number of miles that Alexia run is 4 miles.
