Okay, this may seem complex for some but its actually is simple!

However, we will have to use double fractions which a lot of people dont like

So we have (8/5)/24 for our units.  However, we need to find 2 miles.  8/5 is a bit confusing and hard to represent if we are converting to integers.

But, theres a trick.  We need 2 miles so we can actually make 2 = 10/5.

We now have (8/5)/24 = (10/5)/x

Using cross-multiplication, we can solve for x!

Hope this helps
