Answer: = 15 7/12 miles

or 15.583 miles

Explanation:

"5 2/3 miles on his bike in an hour" can be a conversion factor:

(5 2/3 miles/hour).

Assuming that after Mike is finished beebicing, he spends the same amount of time bicycling, we can calculate the distance he would have travelled:

(5 2/3 miles/hour)*(2 3/4 hours) =

(17/3 miles/hour)*(11/4 hours) =

(17*11)/(3*4) = 187/12

= 15 7/12 miles

= 15.583 miles
