To determine how many more miles Trey must run, we first need to know the total distance of the race. Based on the information provided, we know that Trey has already run 1.2 miles and we need to figure out how many more miles he needs to run based on the total distance.

However, the information "Trey has completed 14 of the race so far" seems to be missing context about the total distance of the race. Common race distances (like a 5K or a half marathon) often lend context, but without knowing the total distance, we can only analyze the options given.

If we assume that the total distance of the race is 2.8 miles (1.2 miles completed and 1.6 miles more), and this aligns with one of the responses, then Trey must run:

  • 2.8 miles (total race distance) - 1.2 miles (already run) = 1.6 miles

So based on this assumption:

Trey must run 1.6 more miles to complete the race.

If the total distance of the race is different, we would need that information to give an accurate answer. However, based on the provided responses, the only calculation that makes sense with the context is that Trey must run 1.6 miles more.
