Solve this multi-step problem. A runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. At the same pace, how far can the runner go in 16 minutes? (1 point)

Answer 1

Since the runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes, in 16 minutes, the runner can complete 2/4 or 1/2 of the race.

Therefore, the runner can go a distance of 5 miles * 1/2 = <<5*1/2=2.5>>2.5 miles in 16 minutes. Answer: \boxed{2.5}.
