Saturday and Sunday: 8 1/4 hours + 6 1/4 hours = 33/4 + 25/4 = 58/4 = 29/2 hours = 14 1/2 hours

A total of 88 1/2 miles = 177/2 miles for both days.

If you would like to know how long does it take him to ride one mile on his bike, you can calculate this using the following steps:

88 1/2 miles ... 14 1/2 hours
1 mile ... x hours = ?

88 1/2 * x = 1 * 14 1/2
177/2 * x = 29/2 /*2
177 * x = 29 /177
x = 29/177 hours
x = 0.16 hours

Result: It takes him 0.16 hours to ride one mile on his bike.
