The total distance travelled by marcel on bike each week is $\boxed{14.48\text{ kilometers}}$.

Further explanation:

In the question it is given that the distance between school and home of marcel is $3.62\text{ kilometer}$.

Each week on tuesdays and thursdays marcel travels to school and then back to home.

This implies that on tuesday marcel to complete his two trips i.e., from school to home and home to school.

Distance covered while travelling from home to school is $\boxed{3.62}$ kilometers.

So, the distance covered while travelling from school to home is also $\boxed{3.62}$ kilometers.

As per the above statements the total distance travelled on tuesday is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{2\times 3.62=7.24}$

As per the above calculation it is concluded that the total distance travelled on tuesday is $7.24\text{ kilometers}$.

It is given that each week on tuesdays and thursdays marcel travels to school and then back to home.

This implies that marcel rides his bicycle on tuesday and thursday while going to school, so the total distance travelled on thursday is $7.24$ kilometers.

The total distance travelled by marcel each week is calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Total distance}&=\text{Distance travelled on tuesday}+\text{Distance travelled on thursday}\\&=7.24+7.24\\&=14.48\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the total distance travelled by marcel on bike each week is $\boxed{14.48\text{ kilometers}}$.
