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?

Question

1/10 mile
1/8 mile
2 1/2 mile
160 miles

Answer 1

To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes at the same pace, we can set up a proportion. Since the runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes, we can write:

(1/4 mile) / 8 minutes = x miles / 16 minutes

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

8 minutes * x miles = (1/4 mile) * 16 minutes.

Simplifying the equation:

8x = 4 miles

Dividing both sides of the equation by 8:

x = 1/2 mile.

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

The correct answer is 1/2 mile.
