To find the total miles Beth rode her horse over the weekend, you need to add the miles ridden on Saturday and Sunday together.
On Saturday, Beth rode 11.25 miles, and on Sunday, she rode 9.7 miles.
Now, let's add these two distances:
\[
11.25 + 9.7
\]
To simplify the addition, we can align the numbers:
```
11.25
+ 9.70
--------
```
Adding the numbers from right to left:
1. Starting with the hundredths: \(5 + 0 = 5\)
2. Next, the tenths: \(2 + 7 = 9\)
3. Then the units: \(1 + 9 = 10\), which gives us 0 and we carry over 1 to the tens place.
4. Finally, the tens: \(1 + 0 + 1 = 2\) (the carry from the previous addition).
Putting this together gives us:
\[
11.25 + 9.70 = 20.95
\]
Thus, the total miles Beth rode her horse is
\[
\boxed{20.95} \text{ miles}.
