Answer 1

Jenna has run the distance of
`(100)/(21)` miles .

Explanation:

The Distance for the trail = 8
`(4)/(7)` =
`(56+4)/(7)`

Or , Distance =
`(60)/(7)` miles

The distance cover by Jenna =
`(5)/(9)` miles of the distance

I.e The distance cover by Jenna =
`(5)/(9)` ×
`(60)/(7)`

Or, The distance cover by Jenna =
`(100)/(21)` miles

Hence Jenna has run the distance of
`(100)/(21)` miles . Answer
