Answer:

45 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so it goes 1.75 (1 3/4) miles in 2 minutes and 20 seconds, or 140 seconds. Divide 1.75 miles by 140 and you get 0.0125 miles per second, or 0.75 (3/4) miles per minute. Multiply 0.75 by 60 minutes and you get 45 miles.

All proportions have this form:

$\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}}$ , Where $\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}}$ is equal to $\sf{\dfrac{c}{d}}$ .

If $\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}\neq\dfrac{c}{d}}$ , it's not a proportion.

Here we have two pairs of numbers:

40,10 and 32,8.

Written As a proportion, they look like :

$\sf{\dfrac{40}{10}=\dfrac{32}{8}}$

Hope this made sense to you :)
