Answer: Number of miles he runs for 12 days is 40.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of miles Eli run on his first day = 2 miles

Next day, he increases his distance run by 0.25 miles.

Number of miles Eli run on his second day = 2+0.25 = 2.25 miles

Number of miles Eli run on his third day = 2.25+0.25 = 2.5 miles

So, it becomes an arithmetic progression:

2,2.25,2.5,....

Number of days he runs for = 12 days

So, Total number of miles he runs over the course of 12 days is given by

S_{12}=\frac{12}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)\\\\S_{12}=\frac{12}{2}(2\times 2+(12-1)0.25)\\\\S_{12}=6(4+11\times 0.25)\\\\S_{12}=6(6.75)\\\\S_{12}=40.5\ miles

Hence, Number of miles he runs for 12 days is 40.5 miles.
