Answer: He hike
7(5)/(8)\ miles last month.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of first hike =
2(3)/(4)\ miles=(11)/(4)\ miles

Length of second hike =
1(1)/(2)\ miles=(3)/(2)\ miles

Length of third hike =
3(3)/(8)\ miles=(27)/(8)\ miles

Total miles he hike last month is given by


(11)/(4)+(3)/(2)+(27)/(8)\\\\=(22+12+27)/(8)\\\\=(61)/(8)\\\\=7(5)/(8)\ miles

Hence, he hike
7(5)/(8)\ miles last month.
