#41.2# miles

To solve the question, first find the number of miles Rachel power walked.

She walked #2 3/5# or #2.6# miles a day for seven days. Multiply seven days by #2.6# to find the total number of miles Rachel power walked that week.

#2.6*7= 18.2#

Next, find the number of miles Rachel jogged.

She jogged #5.75# miles a day for four days. Multiply #4# by #5.75# to find the number of miles Rachel jogged that week.

#5.75*4=23#

Rachel power walked 18.2 miles and jogged 23 miles. Add the two values up to find the total number of miles that she power walked and jogged.

#18.2+23=41.2#
