Final answer:

Erin jogged a total of 7 1/3 miles by adding up the distances she jogged on different days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total distance Erin jogged, we need to add up the distances she jogged on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

On Monday, she jogged 2 1/4 miles. To add this to the total distance, we can convert 1/4 to 2/8 and then add:

2 1/4 + 2/8 = 18/8 + 2/8 = 20/8 = 2 1/2 miles

On Wednesday, she jogged 3 1/3 miles. To add this to the total distance, we can convert 1/3 to 2/6 and then add:

3 1/3 + 2/6 = 10/3 + 2/6 = 20/6 + 2/6 = 22/6 = 3 2/6 miles

On Friday, she jogged 2 2/6 miles. To add this to the total distance, we can convert 2/6 to 1/3 and then add:

2 2/6 + 1/3 = 14/6 + 2/6 = 16/6 = 2 2/6 miles

To find the total distance Erin jogged, we can add up the distances:

2 1/2 + 3 2/6 + 2 2/6 = 2 + 3 + 2 + 1/2 + 2/6 + 2/6 = 7 1/3 miles

Therefore, Erin jogged a total of 7 1/3 miles.
