Sara hiked 2 miles more this week.

Explanation:

To solve this, we first need to find how many miles Sara hiked this week. Sara hiked 3 miles on Monday, then 4 miles on Tuesday, then another 3 miles on Thursday. All we need to do is add those three numbers together:

#3+4+3=10#

Sara hiked 10 miles this week, which is 2 miles greater than last week's 8 miles. There fore, Sara hiked 2 miles more this week than last week.
