I'm not completely sure what you mean by his "trip".

You've described three trips that day:

==> from home to school

==> from school to the club, and

==> from the club to home.  

You also clearly listed the distance for each of those trips, so I don't think that's what you're asking.

I think you're asking about Jorge's total distance for the day, after he finished all three trips.

That distance is (5mi + 1mi + 6mi)  =  12 miles. (choice-D)
