2sqrt(6)

1 answer

The difference in miles run each day is equal to the absolute value of the difference between the number of miles run on Monday and Tuesday.

So, the difference in miles run each day is equal to |7√(6) - 5√(6)| = |2√(6)|

Simplifying the expression gives: 2√(6)

Therefore, the correct option is 2√(6).
