Answer:

11 3/4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting to improper fractions, the consecutive distances are:

21/4 , 55/8, 17/2

= 42/8, 55/8, 68/8 for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

So the distances have increased by 13/8 miles each day.

Thus number of miles he'll bike on Friday = 68/8 + 2(13/8)

= 94/8

= 11 3/4 miles.
