Answer 1

To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we can first determine how many 8-minute intervals are in 16 minutes.

16 minutes ÷ 8 minutes = 2 intervals

Since the runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes, and there are 2 intervals in 16 minutes, the runner can complete:

1/4 mile × 2 intervals = 1/2 mile

Therefore, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes.

Answer 2

Solve this multi-step problem. A runner completes 14 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. At the same pace, how far can the runner go in 16 minutes?(1 point)

Answer 3

To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we need to first determine the fraction of the race the runner completes in 8 minutes.

The runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes.

To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we can multiply the fraction completed in 8 minutes by 2.

(1/4) * 2 = 1/2

Therefore, the runner can complete 1/2 of the race in 16 minutes.

To find out how far that is in miles, we can multiply 1/2 by 5 miles.

(1/2) * 5 = 2.5

Therefore, the runner can go 2.5 miles in 16 minutes.

Answer 4

not 14 but 1/4

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion. Let me correct the solution.

If the runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes, we can calculate how much the runner can complete in 16 minutes.

Since there are two 8-minute intervals in 16 minutes, the runner can complete:

1/4 mile * 2 intervals = 1/2 mile

Therefore, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes.
