Answer:

8 / 9 miles

Explanation:

Given that:

Jason's distance = 1/3 mile

Jane's distance = 2/6 miles

Jude's distance = 2/9 miles

The total miles rowed down the river by all 3 :

(1/3 + 2/6 + 2/9) miles

The L. C. M of the denominator (3, 6, 9) = 18

(6 + 6 + 4) / 18

16 / 18 miles

8 / 9 miles
