To find out how many more miles Trey needs to run to complete the race, we first need to determine the total distance of the race. Since it states that he has completed 14 of the race, it seems there might be a misunderstanding.

Typically, in races, the number after "completed" refers to divisions of the race. If we assume that the race could be divided into equal parts, we'd need to know the total distance of the race.

Since no additional information about the total distance is provided and he has already run 1.2 miles, let’s assume the race is indeed quantifiable by those increments.

Given the options provided, if we were to take a common distance, let's hypothetically say he is completing several laps of a certain distance. However, without a specific total distance for the race, it's challenging to provide a definitive answer.

Let's just analyze the options:

  • If the race is supposed to be 3.6 miles total and he has completed 1.2 miles, then he would need to run 2.4 more miles.
  • If the race total were something like 5.2 miles total, then he could need to run 4 more miles.

But since the options you provided explicitly show certain alternative distances, without clarification on the total race length, none of the options accurately reflect based on the information that he has already run.

However, if we were to follow the assumption that he is at 14, we could suggest:

If 14 is indeed a placeholder for a total or possibly a typo or misinterpretation, please confirm the distance of the total race for an exact calculation based on his 1.2 miles run.

For now, based on the responses, 3.6 miles would be mathematically closest if 5.2 were assumed as the total race after the 1.2 miles he ran.

Can you provide additional clarification or the context?
