Answer 1

To find out how many more miles Trey must run to complete the race, we need to determine the total distance of the race.

Given that Trey has completed 14% of the race and has already run 1.2 miles:

1. Let \( x \) be the total distance of the race.
2. Since 14% of the race is equal to 1.2 miles, we have the equation: \[ 0.14x = 1.2 \]
3. To find \( x \), divide both sides by 0.14: \[ x = \frac{1.2}{0.14} \approx 8.57 \text{ miles} \]

Now, to find out how many more miles Trey must run to complete the race:

• Total distance of the race = \( 8.57 \) miles
• Distance already run = \( 1.2 \) miles

Remaining distance: \[ 8.57 - 1.2 = 7.37 \text{ miles} \]

It seems like there might be an issue with the provided options since 7.37 miles is not on the list. Please double-check the details of the race or the answer choices.
