Solve this multi-step problem. A runner completes 14 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. At the same pace, how far can the runner go in 16 minutes?

Answer 1

First, we need to find the runner's speed. To do this, we divide the distance covered by the time taken: 14 miles / 8 minutes = 1.75 miles per minute.
Next, we multiply the runner's speed by the time we want to calculate, which is 16 minutes: 1.75 miles/minute * 16 minutes = <<1.75*16=28>>28 miles. Answer: \boxed{28}.
