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?(1 point)

If each member of the running club only wants to run 1/4 mile, and there are 8 members, then the total distance they would want to run is 8 * 1/4 = 2 miles. However, the race distance is 2 1/2 miles, which is longer than what each member wants to run. Therefore, it is not possible for each member to run only 1/4 mile in this race.
