Answer:

11.75 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that each distance is found by adding 1.625 to the previous one:

5.25 + 1.625 = 6.875 (which is equal to 6 7/8);

6.875 + 1.625 = 8.5 (which is equal to 8 1/2)

On Wednesday Jaime will bike 8.5 + 1.625 miles, or 10.125 miles, and

on Friday he will bike 10.125 miles + 1.625 miles, or 11.75 miles
