Answer:

B 3 times

C. 4 times

Explanation:

For Tristan to jog between 2 and 3 miles, the number of times he would have to jog the route that is 7/10 mile must be such that the product of the number of times and 7/10 miles gives a number between 2 and 3.

Considering the options given

A. 2 * 7/10 = 1.4 miles (this is not within the range)

B. 3 * 7/10 = 2.1 miles (this is within the range)

C. 4 * 7/10 = 2.8 miles (this is within the range)

D. 5 * 7/10 = 3.5 miles (this is not within the range)
