#31.5# miles.

Explanation:

We can use the formula:
#rt=d#
where #r=#rate, #t=#time, and #d=#distance. We know #r# and #t# from the problem. #r=2.25# mi#/1# day and #t=14# days. Substituting and simplifying:
#rt=d#
#2.25# mi#/1# #cancel(day)##*#14 #cancel(days)##=d#
#2.25# mi#*14=d#
#d=31.5# mi
So at the end of 14 days, Tessa will have run #31.5# miles.
