The runner completes 14 miles of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes.

To find how many miles the runner can go in 16 minutes, we can set up a proportion:

14 miles/8 minutes = x miles/16 minutes

Cross-multiplying, we get:

8x = 14 * 16

8x = 224

Dividing both sides by 8, we find:

x = 28

Therefore, the runner can go 28 miles in 16 minutes.

To solve this problem, we can use a proportion.

The runner completes 14 miles of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. We want to find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes.

Let's set up the proportion:

14 miles / 8 minutes = x miles / 16 minutes

Cross-multiplying:

8x = 14 * 16

8x = 224

Dividing both sides by 8:

x = 28

Therefore, at the same pace, the runner can go 28 miles in 16 minutes.

Based on the given choices, the closest option is 28 miles.
