Answer 1

To find out how much more of the race Trey has left, we need to find out how long the entire race is and subtract the distance Trey has already run.

Trey has completed 1/4 of the race, which means there are 3/4 of the race left for him to run. We can find out how long the entire race is by doing:

1.2 miles / (1/4) = 1.2 miles * (4/1) = 4.8 miles.

Therefore, the entire race is 4.8 miles long.

Now, we can find out how much more of the race Trey has left:

4.8 miles - 1.2 miles = 3.6 miles.

So, Trey has 3.6 miles more of the race left.

The correct response is 3.6 miles, but since this is not an option, the closest option is 4.8 miles.
