To find the total distance Ellis rides, we need to add the lengths of Prairie Street and Plains Avenue together.
First, we need to convert the lengths to a common denominator.
3 7/8 miles = 3 + 7/8 = 3 14/8 = 4 6/8 miles
3 5/10 miles = 3 + 5/10 = 3 1/2 miles
Now we can add the lengths together:
4 6/8 miles + 3 1/2 miles = 7 7/8 miles
Therefore, Ellis rides a total of 7 7/8 miles.
