Answer:
40min
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio is 2:16, we want simplify. both 2 and 16 are dividable by 2.
2 / 2 = 1
16 / 2 = 8.
Now we can use the ratio 1 mile per 8 min. We want the rate of how many min to miles, so we'd multiply 5 by 8 which equals 40.
Therefore it takes him 40min to run 5 miles.
Hope this helps!
