No need to ask this same question three times. I already posted a solution.
The information just on distances is enough. Times and speeds do not enter into the solution. Leah jogged 4.5 km and Barb jogged 6.0 km.

The idea is that the sum of their distances is 10.5 km. Give a variable to one of their distances.
