If the relay race is 1/16 mile long and there are 2 people running the relay, each person will run half of the total distance.
To find out how far each person runs, you can divide the total distance by the number of runners:
\[ \text{Distance per person} = \frac{1/16 \text{ mile}}{2} = \frac{1}{32} \text{ mile} \]
So, each person will run \( \frac{1}{32} \) mile.
