To find out how many miles Jerry has left to run this week to meet his goal of 16 miles, we first need to calculate how many miles he has already run.
On Monday, he ran 3.42 miles, and on Tuesday, he ran 2.7 miles.
Adding these two distances together:
\[
3.42 + 2.7 = 6.12 \text{ miles}
\]
Now, we subtract the total miles he has run from his goal:
\[
16 \text{ miles} - 6.12 \text{ miles} = 9.88 \text{ miles}
\]
So, Jerry has **9.88 miles** left to run this week to meet his goal.
