It seems "14" might represent 14% of the race or some other measure. Since there's no exact total distance specified for the race in miles, I'll assume that "14" indicates a certain completion of a length we can compute.
Let's assume the total distance of the race is X miles.
If Trey has completed 14% of the race and has already run 1.2 miles, we can set up the equation:
0.14 * X = 1.2 miles.
To find X (the total distance of the race), we rearrange the equation:
X = 1.2 miles / 0.14
X ≈ 8.57 miles.
Now, we find how many more miles Trey needs to run:
Total distance - Distance already run = Remaining distance.
Remaining distance = 8.57 miles - 1.2 miles ≈ 7.37 miles.
However, since that option isn't present, it might be based on different assumptions.
If we reconsider that Trey has completed 14 miles of a different total distance, we would need that total distance to provide the options correctly.
Assuming that the "14" does not refer to percentage, but simply to some unclear context, it's best to refer to the possible answers you provided without making assumptions.
If any context or clarification on the total distance or what "14" refers to can be given, that would help hugely in providing a correct answer from the options given.
If these options relate to 5.2 miles remaining accurately, then the closest calculated distance would indeed fit if we had neglected some information.
Given the provided choices, it is difficult to select the correct answer without clearer information on total distance or context of "14." Please provide the total distance if you can!
