To determine how many miles Beth jogs, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate Abe's Total Miles:**

- **Monday:** 1.8 miles
   - **Tuesday:** 1.3 miles
   - **Wednesday:** 1.2 miles

**Total Miles Jogged by Abe:**
   $$
   1.8 \, \text{miles} + 1.3 \, \text{miles} + 1.2 \, \text{miles} = 4.3 \, \text{miles}
   $$

2. **Determine Beth's Miles:**

Beth jogs **twice** as far as Abe.

$$
   \text{Beth's Miles} = 2 \times \text{Abe's Total Miles} = 2 \times 4.3 \, \text{miles} = 8.6 \, \text{miles}
   $$

**Answer:** Beth jogs **8.6 miles** in total.
Beth jogs 8.6 miles.
