Answer: Her total distance was greater this week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carol jogged 1 3/4 miles on 5 days last week. Converting 1 3/4 miles to decimal, it becomes 1.75 miles. The total number of miles that she jogged last week is

5 × 1.75 = 8.75 miles

She jogged 2 1/4 miles on 4 days this week. Converting 2 1/4 miles to decimal, it becomes 2.25 miles. The total number of miles that she jogged this week is

4 × 2.25 = 9 miles

Since 9 miles is greater than 8 miles, then her total distance was greater this week.
