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) Responses 110 mile Start Fraction 1 over 10

Answer 1

To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we need to determine the fraction of the race the runner completes in 16 minutes.

The runner completes 1/4 of the race every 8 minutes. In 16 minutes, the runner would complete 2 sets of 1/4 of the race.

2 sets of 1/4 of the race is equivalent to 2 * 1/4 = 2/4 or 1/2 of the race.

Since the race is 5 miles, the runner can go 1/2 * 5 = 2.5 miles in 16 minutes.

Therefore, the runner can go 2.5 miles in 16 minutes.
