Answer:

1.5 + 1.75 = 3.25 miles jogged on Monday and Tuesday combined.

Explanation:

The number of miles he jogged on both days combined is just the sum of the miles of laps he jogged on both days.

Since he jogged 6 laps around a 0.25 mile track on Monday, this means he jogged 6(0.25) = 1.5 miles on Monday.

Since he jogged 7 laps around the same 0.25 mile track on Tuesday, he jogged 7(0.25) = 1.75 miles on Tuesday.

Summing them up, 1.5 + 1.75 = 3.25 miles jogged on Monday and Tuesday combined.
