Answer:

B

Explanation:

You divide all the miles by the inch directly above,

ex)  [tex]\frac{60}{1.25} \\[/tex]   = 48 miles

[tex]\frac{72}{1.5}[/tex] = 48 miles

[tex]\frac{84}{1.75}[/tex] = 48 miles

Then you continue on with all the other number of miles, and all of the fractions can be transferred to a number with a decimal so it's easier to divide.
