Final answer:

William Dawes rode approximately 17 miles from Boston to Lexington. The distance from Lexington to Concord is roughly 6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact distances ridden by Dawes and Prescott during the Battles of Lexington and Concord depend on the specific map in your textbook. However, historically speaking, William Dawes rode approximately 17 miles from Boston to Lexington. William Prescott, not to be confused with Dr. Samuel Prescott who completed the ride, actually fought in the battles at Lexington and Concord, and did not make a significant ride between them. But, generally the distance from Lexington to Concord is about 6 miles. It's important to note these figures are rough estimates and the actual distances may vary based on the routes that were taken.
