Answer:

Eric will have to run 6 hours and Jess will have to run 3 hours to have both run 6 miles

you can also use any number the splits in half or is even to get a answer like this ex. 12 and 6 hours to both run 12 miles

Answer:

4hrs

Step-by-step explanation:  4hrs as anything under an hour is 0hrs and as 5 mile already has been run that is not part of the clock so the minimum is what we look for is 1hr for Eric and say the longer time for Jess = 4hr

Eric = 5 hr + 1 = 6hrs  Jess = 2hr + 4 = 6hrs (The same)   6-2= 4hrs as Jess already ran 2hrs and the question is asking in present tense this means it would take Eric 1hr and Jess 4 hrs to have run the same number of miles
