Shouldn't the number I circled be 1.66 miles not 1.67 miles since 0.33 miles were added? Or Is this some proportions thing?

You would not be incorrect in saying 1.66 moles. They might have been thinking one-third mole was added each time; so it is adding 0.333333 (repeating) which rounds up to 1.67. However, if it is exactly 0.33 moles (and not one-third mole), then you are correct (1.66 moles). Hopefully, that is an insignificant difference in doing these problems.
