Answer:

7/16 mile

Explanation:

Distance of the loop = 7/8 mile

Distance of Water fountain = 1/2 of the Distance of the loop

= 1/2 of 7/8

Ibrahim stopped to get a drink of water at the water fountain. How far did Ibrahim run?

= 1/2 of 7/8

= 1/2 * 7/8

= (1 * 7) / (2 * 8)

= 7/16

Ibrahim ran 7/16 mile to drink water at the water fountain around the loop
