Answer 2

So the runner burns 250 calories running 5 miles, and we have to figure out how many calories the runner burns running 2.5 miles.

Well we know that 2.5 miles is half of 5 miles, so we can simply do the same to the amount of calories burned. So half of 250 is 125.

The runner would burn 125 calories running 2.5 miles.
