Given:

Kirby wants to run a total of 7 5/8 miles every Tuesday and Thursday.

If he runs 4 4/16 miles on Tuesday and 3 3/8 miles on Thursday,

Then, the total miles he will cover is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\frac{4}{16}+3\frac{3}{8}=4\frac{1}{4}+3\frac{3}{8} \\ =\frac{17}{4}+\frac{27}{8} \\ =\frac{34}{8}+\frac{27}{8} \\ =\frac{61}{8} \\ =7\frac{5}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since, he will cover total of 7 5/8 miles.

So, he will meet his goal for this week.
