Let's add the fractions to determine how many miles Rami run:


\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)+(7)/(8)+(5)/(6)=(24+28)/(32)+(5)/(6) \\ =(52)/(32)+(5)/(6) \\ =(13)/(8)+(5)/(6) \\ =(78+40)/(48) \\ =(118)/(48) \\ =(59)/(24) \\ =2(11)/(24) \end{gathered}

Therefore Rami run 2 11/24 miles. (In decimal approximation this is 2.4583 miles)
