Quintin’s running club is running a 212 mile race. There are 8 members, and each one only wants to run 14 mile. Is this possible? Why or why not?
No, they would need more people to make that distance work.
Yes, that distance is exactly right to split the distance between 8 people.
Yes, that distance will work if they each run it twice.

No, this is not possible because 8 people running 14 miles each would only total 112 miles, which is 100 miles short of the 212 mile race.
