To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we can first determine how many 8-minute intervals are in 16 minutes.
16 minutes ÷ 8 minutes = 2 intervals
Since the runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes, and there are 2 intervals in 16 minutes, the runner can complete:
1/4 mile × 2 intervals = 1/2 mile
Therefore, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes.
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?(1 point)
To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we need to first determine the fraction of the race the runner completes in 8 minutes.
The runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes.
To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes, we can multiply the fraction completed in 8 minutes by 2.
(1/4) * 2 = 1/2
Therefore, the runner can complete 1/2 of the race in 16 minutes.
To find out how far that is in miles, we can multiply 1/2 by 5 miles.
(1/2) * 5 = 2.5
Therefore, the runner can go 2.5 miles in 16 minutes.
not 14 but 1/4
I apologize for the confusion. Let me correct the solution.
If the runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes, we can calculate how much the runner can complete in 16 minutes.
Since there are two 8-minute intervals in 16 minutes, the runner can complete:
1/4 mile * 2 intervals = 1/2 mile
Therefore, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes.
To solve this problem, we first need to find how far the runner can go in 1 minute.
Since the runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes, we can find the distance covered in 1 minute by dividing 1/4 by 8.
1/4 divided by 8 is equal to 1/32.
Therefore, the runner can cover 1/32 mile in 1 minute.
Next, we need to determine how far the runner can go in 16 minutes.
To do that, we multiply the distance covered in 1 minute (1/32 mile) by the number of minutes (16).
1/32 multiplied by 16 is equal to 1/2 mile.
Therefore, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes.
To solve this problem, we need to determine how far the runner can go in 16 minutes at the same pace as completing 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes.
First, let's find out how far the runner can go in 8 minutes. We know that the runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race in 8 minutes, so we can set up a proportion:
1/4 mile / 8 minutes = x miles / 16 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(1/4 mile) * (16 minutes) = (8 minutes) * x miles
4 miles = 8x
Dividing both sides by 8:
4 miles / 8 = x
x = 1/2 mile
Therefore, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes at the same pace. So the answer is option "2 Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction miles".
