Question

A 2-person relay race is 1 over 16 mile long. If each person runs the same length, how far will each person run?

Answer 1

Well you have to divide 1/16 by 2 so get your answer witch is below


`(1)/(16)` ÷ 2 ≈ 0.031225 =
`(1)/(32)` or
`(1)/(8)`

Answer 2

Answer: Each person ran
`(1)/(32)~\textup{miles}.`

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a 2-person relay race is 1 over 16 miles long and each person runs the same length.

We are to find the distance ran by each person.

Let each person ran x miles.

Then, according to the given information, we have

`x+x=(1)/(16)\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=(1)/(16)\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=(1)/(32).`

Thus, each person ran
`(1)/(32)~\textup{miles}.`
