I am bad at this types of questions but will give you what i would write of the question if i had it

If his run is 16/8 miles per day, 8/10 of the run is 16/8*8/10 = 2*8/10

= 16/10

= 1.6

but ... i am not sure if the question requires yoi to add the miles from the pervious day as the break was only stated in the second day. If i were you, i will leave the answer as 1.6 miles.
