Answer:

Distance covered by Eli is
5(19)/(20) miles.

Explanation:

Eli biked the distance from his home initially =
1(1)/(10) miles

Then he remembered that he had left a book at home.

He came back home and traveled the distance =
1(1)/(10) miles

Then he reached the library by traveling the distance =
3(3)/(4) miles

Total distance covered by him =
1(1)/(10)+1(1)/(10)+3(3)/(4)

=
1 + (1)/(10)+1+(1)/(10)+3+(3)/(4)

= 5 +
(1)/(10)+(1)/(10)+(3)/(4)

=
5+(2)/(20)+(2)/(20)+(15)/(20)

=
5+(19)/(20)

=
5(19)/(20) miles

Therefore, distance covered by Eli is
5(19)/(20) miles.
