Answer 2

2.5 miles

Explanation:

Jen ran for 10 minutes. This is 1/6 of an hour.

1/6*6=1

He covered 1 mile in that 10 minutes.

Jen then walked for 30 minutes. This is 1/2 of an hour.

1/2*3=1.5

He covered 1.5 miles in that 30 minutes.

1+1.5=2.5

The total distance covered by Jen is 2.5 miles.
