Total distance traveled was   =  miles.


We should determine, how many times    of a mile fits in   miles.


For it, we divide   :  =  =  =  = 10 = 10.


Thus,  we see that  1/6  of a mile fits  10  times into  14/8  miles  (and half of  1/6  mile remains).


Jamie makes pushup at the end of each  1/6  miles - hence, Jamie will stop 10 times.    ANSWER

Solved, with all necessary explanations.
