They both are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that :

Angelo rode his bike around the trail = 8 times

So Angelo said that he rode his bike around the trail for = 8/4 miles

Terresa says Angelo actually rode his bike = 2 miles

They both are correct as 8/4 mile is equal to 2 miles in the simplified form.

So both of them are correct.
