Nasser, I agree that 5/6 is less than 23 2/3; however, he ran less is not the answer to the above question. I strongly believe answer actually is he ran more last week because the question ask did he run more this week or last week.
He ran more last week

If he ran 6 miles last week
then he ran 5 miles this week

the 25 2/3 is just noise on the circuit
all that matters is the 5/6
