Quitting 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 the possible? Why or why not?
No, it is not possible for each member to run only 1/4 mile in a 2 1/2 mile race with 8 members.
If each member only runs 1/4 mile, the total distance covered by all members would be 8 * 1/4 = 2 miles. This is less than the actual race distance of 2 1/2 miles. Therefore, all members combined would fall short of completing the entire race distance.
