Answer:

Bob drove 134.5 miles of the road trip he took with Cheryl.

Explanation:

Distance of the road trip Bob and Cheryl are taking = 188.3 miles

Distance Bob drove to travel on the road trip = Five sevenths of the total distance

Number of miles Bob drove = Distance of the road trip Bob and Cheryl are taking * Distance Bob drove to travel on the road trip

Number of miles Bob drove = 188.3 * Five sevenths of the total distance

Number of miles Bob drove = 188.3 * 5/7

Number of miles Bob drove = 941.5 / 7

Number of miles Bob drove = 134.5 miles

Bob drove 134.5 miles of the road trip he took with Cheryl.
