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)

No, they would need more people to make that distance work. Each member wants to run 1/4 mile, so the total distance covered by all 8 members would be 8 * 1/4 = 2 miles. Since the race distance is 2 1/2 miles, they would need another 1/2 mile to complete the race.
