Distance walked by Kyle #color(purple)(d = 1 5/6# miles

Distance walked by Kyle is twice the perimeter of the rectangular parking lot.

#l = 1/3# mike, #w = 1/8# mile.

Perimeter of rectangle #p = 2 (l + b)#

Distance walked #d = 2 * p = 2 * (2 *(l+w))#

#d = 2 * 2 * (1/3 + 1/8) = 4 * ((8+3)/24) = 44/24 = 11/6 # miles.
