8 phone cells

Explanation:

We are told that he spent 14 minutes on the phone while routing 7 phone calls.

Now, we want to find the number of phone cells he will route for a total of 16 minutes.

Thus, by proportion using unit rates;. Number of minutes spent pet phone cell = 14 minutes ÷ 7 phone calls = 2 minutes per phone cell

Therefore, for 16 minutes, number of phone cells will be;

16 minutes ÷ 2 minutes per phone cell = 8 phone cells
