This is not a multiple choice if your asking that?

ok 

When 4 miles is shown by the odometer then the  car has actually travelled 5 miles
therefore When 1 mile is shown by the odometer then the  car has actually travelled 5/4 miles
Which means if the odometer shows 125 miles then the car has actually travelled  (5/4 )X 125=156.25 miles
