Answer: 5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

There was 2 people which would subtract $2 from the $12, so that would leave you with 10. Divide 10 by 2 and it would be 5 miles.

Sidney Gray · Answer 2

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 2 people and it costs 12 dollars you will first subtract 2 dolars for each person leaving you with 10 dollars. After that you will divide 10 by 2 for the miles because each mile costs 2 bucks. that will get you to 5 miles
