Answer:

One all-around trip takes 2.6, while to and from work takes 1.3 miles

Explanation:

We know that he rides to and from work from Monday to Friday. This is a total of five days, and since he goes to and from work, he does it twice, meaning he has 5 x 2 = 10 trips. These 10 equal trips all sum to 13 miles, so one trip takes 1.3 miles.
