Explanation:

Step1: Estimate daily mileage

From the graph, on day 1 it's about 425 miles, day 2 about 500 miles, day 3 about 350 miles, day 4 about 425 miles, day 5 about 225 miles.

Step2: Calculate total mileage

$425 + 500+350 + 425+225=(425 + 425)+500+(350 + 225)=850+500 + 575=1925$ miles. The closest estimate among the options is 1900 miles.

Answer:

D. 1,900 miles
