To solve this problem, we need to figure out how many sets of 14 of a 5-mile race the runner can complete in 16 minutes.
The runner completes 14 sets of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. We can determine the number of sets completed in 16 minutes by dividing 16 by 8: 16 / 8 = 2.
So, in 16 minutes, the runner can complete 2 sets of a 5-mile race.
To find the total distance the runner can go in 16 minutes, we multiply the number of sets by the distance per set: 2 sets * 5 miles/set = 10 miles.
Therefore, the runner can go 10 miles in 16 minutes.
can it go 1/8 miles?
or 1/10 miles?
or 2 1/2 miles?
or 160 miles?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's go through the calculation again.
The runner completes 14 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we need to determine the rate at which the runner completes the race.
In 8 minutes, the runner completes 14 sets of a 5-mile race. To find the distance the runner covers in 1 minute, we divide both sides of the equation by 8: 14 sets * (5 miles/set) / 8 minutes = 8.75 miles / 8 minutes = 1.09375 miles/minute.
Now, we can find the distance the runner can go in 16 minutes by multiplying the rate per minute by the number of minutes: 1.09375 miles/minute * 16 minutes = 17.5 miles.
Therefore, the runner can go approximately 17.5 miles in 16 minutes.
To clarify, none of the given options (1/8 mile, 1/10 mile, 2 1/2 miles, or 160 miles) are the correct answer.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.
The runner completes 14 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we can set up a proportion:
miles completed / minutes taken = miles to be completed / minutes available
Let x represent the distance to be completed in 16 minutes.
Using the information provided, we can set up the proportion:
14 sets of 5 miles / 8 minutes = x miles / 16 minutes
Simplifying the proportion:
(14 * 5) / 8 = x / 16
70 / 8 = x / 16
8x = 70 * 16
8x = 1120
x = 1120 / 8
x = 140
Therefore, the runner can go 140 miles in 16 minutes.
The correct response among the options given is:
140 miles.
