Answer 1

To determine whether it is possible for the 8 members of Quintin's running club to each run 14 miles to complete a total distance of 212 miles, we can calculate the total distance they would run together.

If each of the 8 members runs 14 miles, the total distance run would be:

8 members × 14 miles/member = 112 miles.

Since 112 miles is significantly less than the required 212 miles, they would not be able to complete the race under those conditions.

The correct response is:

No, they would need more people to make that distance work.
