quintin's running club is running a 2 1/2 mile race. there are 8 members, and each one only wants to run 1/4 mile. is this possible? why or why not?
no, they have too many people to make that distance work.
yes, that distance will work if they each run it twice.
no, they would need more people to make that distance work.
yes, that distance is exactly right to split the distance between 8 people.
