Answer:

$6 \frac{2}{5} \: miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

$First \: trail = 1 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{7}{5} \: miles \\ \\ second \: trail = 5 \times first \: trail \\ \\ = 5 \times \frac{7}{5} \\ \\ = 7 \: miles \\ \\ total \: length = \frac{7}{5} + 5 \\ \\ = \frac{7 + 25}{5} \\ \\ = \frac{32}{5} \\ \\ = 6 \frac{2}{5} \: miles$
