To determine how many more miles Trey must run to complete the race, we need to know the total distance of the race. Since the problem states that he has completed 14 of the race and has already run 1.2 miles, we need to interpret what "14 of the race" means.
Assuming that "14 of the race" is a typographical error and that it actually indicates a fraction or a proportion (for example, 14% of the race), we would need the total distance of the race to calculate how many more miles he needs to run.
However, if we assume that the race is a total of 7.2 miles (which would make sense given the options), then:
1. The total distance of the race = 7.2 miles.
2. Distance already run = 1.2 miles.
3. Remaining distance = Total distance - Distance run = 7.2 miles - 1.2 miles = 6.0 miles.
Given the multiple-choice answers provided, none of these align perfectly with 6.0 miles, suggesting a possible misunderstanding in the interpretation of "14 of the race."
If we take the next closest assumption where we say if "14" meant another term, such as 14%, the total distance is calculated differently:
1. If 1.2 miles represents 14% of the race, then the total distance can be calculated as follows:
\[
1.2 \text{ miles} = 0.14 \times \text{Total distance}
\]
\[
\text{Total distance} = \frac{1.2 \text{ miles}}{0.14} \approx 8.57 \text{ miles}
\]
2. Required distance to run to complete the race:
\[
\text{Remaining distance} = 8.57 \text{ miles} - 1.2 \text{ miles} \approx 7.37 \text{ miles}
\]
Since this doesn't match the options provided directly, it's possible that there is an oversight in what "14 of the race" translates to.
In conclusion, without clarity on what "14 of the race" means, I can't definitively state how many miles Trey has left to run based on the multiple-choice answers given. However, if you can provide clarity on the phrasing or context of the question, I can assist you better.
