Total hours that Jenny ran = 3.63 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny ran on Tuesday for = 2/5 hours or 0.4 hours.

Time consumed to run on Thursday = 11/6 hours or 1.83 hours.

Time consumed to run on Saturday = 21/ 15 hours or 1.4 hours.

Here, the total hours can be calculated by just adding all the running hours. So the running hours of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will be added to find the total hours.

Total hours that Jenny ran = 0.4 + 1.83 + 1.4 = 3.63 hours.
