Answer:

1  3/4 miles in 1/4 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

 x           (1/4) hr

--------- = ------------

14 mi       2 hr

Cross multiplying, we get 2x = (1/4)(14), or

                                              x = (1/4)(7), or x = 7/4

Steve can jog 7/4 miles in 1/4 hour.  That's 1  3/4 miles in 1/4 hour.
