Every time Joe runs, he runs 2/4 of a mile whenever Jane runs. She wants four over four of a mile if Joe runs two times a week how many times Jane run to cover the same distance as Joe.

Let's break down the problem into parts.

1. **Joe's running distance**:  
   Every time Joe runs, he runs \( \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \) mile.

2. **Jane's running distance**:  
   Jane runs \( \frac{4}{4} = 1 \) mile each time she runs.

3. **Joe's weekly running**:  
   Joe runs twice a week, covering \( 2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1 \) mile in a week.

4. **How often Jane needs to run to match Joe's weekly distance**:  
   Since Jane runs 1 mile each time, she only needs to run **once per week** to cover the same distance that Joe runs in a week.

### Final Answer
Jane would need to run **1 time per week** to cover the same distance as Joe when he runs twice a week.

Would you like a deeper explanation, or do you have any questions?

Here are some related questions for further practice:
1. If Joe increased his weekly runs to 4, how many times would Jane need to run?
2. What if Jane wanted to run only half the distance Joe runs; how often should she run?
3. If Jane’s running distance changed to 3/4 of a mile, how many times would she need to run?
4. How many miles would Joe run in a month (4 weeks) at his current pace?
5. If Joe and Jane both wanted to cover 5 miles in a week, how often should each run?

**Tip:** For unit comparisons, break down the problem into smaller steps to ensure accuracy.

Solve the problem of comparing running distances for Joe and Jane. Joe runs 2/4 of a mile each time and runs twice a week. Jane runs 1 mile per run. Find out how many times Jane needs to run to cover the same distance as Joe in a week. This problem covers fractions, distance, and proportions. Suitable for Grades 4-6.
