Exits on an interstate are numbered consecutively.
The distance between Exit 5 and Exit 6 is 3.2 miles.
The distance between Exit 6 and Exit 7 is 1.1 miles farther than the distance between Exit 5 and Exit 6.
The distance between Exit 6 and Exit 8 is 2.4 miles farther than the distance between Exit 5 and Exit 7.
The distance between Exit 7 and Exit 8 is
miles.

the answer is 3.9
To find the distance between Exit 7 and Exit 8, we can start by determining the distance between Exit 5 and Exit 7.
Given that the distance between Exit 5 and Exit 6 is 3.2 miles, we know that Exit 7 is two exits away from Exit 5. Since exits on an interstate are numbered consecutively, we can assume that the distance between Exit 5 and Exit 7 is twice the distance between Exit 5 and Exit 6, which gives us 2 * 3.2 = 6.4 miles.
Now, we are given that the distance between Exit 6 and Exit 8 is 2.4 miles farther than the distance between Exit 5 and Exit 7. So, we add 2.4 miles to the distance between Exit 5 and Exit 7, which is 6.4 miles. This gives us 6.4 + 2.4 = 8.8 miles.
Therefore, the distance between Exit 7 and Exit 8 is 8.8 miles.
