<h3>Answer:</h3>

12 3/4 miles

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Eric is increasing his distance by 2 3/8 miles per day. In 2 more days, his distance will be 2×(2 3/8) = 4 3/4 miles more than on Wednesday.

... 8 + 4 3/4 = 12 3/4 . . . . miles on Friday

_____

<em>Rate of increase</em>

The difference between Tuesday and Monday is ...

... 5 5/8 - 3 2/8 = 2 3/8

The difference between Wednesday and Tuesday is ...

... 8 - 5 5/8 = 2 3/8

Thus, it appears that Eric is jogging 2 3/8 mile more each day than the day before.
