Respuesta :

8 miles equals to 14080

Answer:

Thus, Gloria traveled 7.5 miles on the bus.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Distance between Gloria's school and apartment = 8 miles.

1 mile = 1760 yards

Distance walked by Gloria to apartment from bus stop = 880 yards

[tex]880\text{ yards} = \displaystyle\frac{880}{1760}\text{ miles} = 0.5 \text{ miles}[/tex]

Distance traveled by bus =

[tex]\text{Total distance} - \text{Distance walked}\\= 8 -0.5 = 7.5\text{ miles}[/tex]

Thus, Gloria traveled 7.5 miles on the bus.
