The correct answer is 112.5 miles.
To find out how far Ashley drove after lunch, we need to subtract the distance she drove before taking a break for lunch from the total distance to her friend's house.
Total distance - Distance before lunch = Distance after lunch
200 miles - 87.5 miles = 112.5 miles
Therefore, Ashley drove 112.5 miles after lunch.
To find out how far Ashley drove after lunch, we can subtract the distance she drove before lunch from the total distance of the trip.
Given that Ashley drove 87.5 miles before taking a break for lunch and the total distance to her friend's house is 200 miles, we can use subtraction to find the distance she drove after lunch.
So, the calculation would be:
Total distance - Distance before lunch = Distance after lunch
200 miles - 87.5 miles = 112.5 miles
Therefore, Ashley drove 112.5 miles after lunch.
