Answer

To find out how many miles Gin jogs in 2 weeks, we can break down the problem step by step.

### Step 1: Calculate Gin's jogging distance for Week 1
- **Sunday**: Gin jogs 3 miles.
- **Monday**: He jogs 1 mile more than Sunday, which is 4 miles.
- **Tuesday**: He jogs 1 mile more than Monday, which is 5 miles.
- **Wednesday**: He jogs 1 mile more than Tuesday, which is 6 miles.
- **Thursday**: He jogs 1 mile more than Wednesday, which is 7 miles.
- **Friday**: He jogs 1 mile more than Thursday, which is 8 miles.
- **Saturday**: He jogs 1 mile more than Friday, which is 9 miles.

Now, we can sum up the miles for Week 1:
- Total for Week 1 = 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9

Calculating this:
- 3 + 4 = 7
- 7 + 5 = 12
- 12 + 6 = 18
- 18 + 7 = 25
- 25 + 8 = 33
- 33 + 9 = 42

So, Gin jogs **42 miles in Week 1**.

### Step 2: Calculate Gin's jogging distance for Week 2
The pattern for Week 2 is the same as Week 1:
- **Sunday**: 3 miles
- **Monday**: 4 miles
- **Tuesday**: 5 miles
- **Wednesday**: 6 miles
- **Thursday**: 7 miles
- **Friday**: 8 miles
- **Saturday**: 9 miles

Thus, the total for Week 2 is also:
- Total for Week 2 = 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 42 miles

### Step 3: Calculate the total distance for 2 weeks
Now, we add the total distances from both weeks:
- Total distance for 2 weeks = Week 1 + Week 2 = 42 + 42 = 84 miles

Therefore, Gin jogs a total of **84 miles in 2 weeks**.

### Final Answer:
Gin jogs **84 miles in 2 weeks**.
