To find the total number of miles Jed ran in the first five days, we need to add up the distances for each day.
Jed runs 2 miles on Monday, 4 miles on Tuesday, 6 miles on Wednesday, and so on, following the pattern of adding 2 miles each day.
So the distances Jed runs each day are: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 miles.
To find the total number of miles, we add these distances together:
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30
Therefore, Jed ran a total of 30 miles in the first five days.
