Trey is running in a race. He has completed 14 of the race so far. He has already run 1.2 miles. How many more miles must Trey run to complete the race?(1 point) Responses 5.2 miles 5.2 miles 3.6 miles 3.6 miles 0.3 miles 0.3 miles 1.6 miles

To determine how many more miles Trey must run to complete the race, we first need to know the total distance of the race. Since it is not explicitly stated in the problem, we will consider that "14 of the race" means that the total distance of the race is 14 miles.

Trey has already run 1.2 miles. Therefore, we can calculate the remaining distance he needs to run as follows:

Total distance of the race: 14 miles Distance already run: 1.2 miles

Remaining distance = Total distance - Distance already run

Remaining distance = 14 miles - 1.2 miles = 12.8 miles

However, if the responses provided in the options provided are focused on smaller segments or partial distances, we need to adjust to see if any of those make sense.

None of the provided response options (5.2 miles, 3.6 miles, 0.3 miles, 1.6 miles) equals 12.8 miles. This indicates there might be a misunderstanding or different context for the total distance. Please verify the total distance of the race.

Assuming the race is 14 miles: Trey has to run 12.8 more miles to complete the race, which isn't an option provided, requiring context on the race distance, or errors in the problem setup.

If you verify the race length is only 14 miles, quantify with the additional details or values.

which one is it

Based on the information given in the question that Trey is running in a race and has completed "14 of the race" while running 1.2 miles, it seems there might have been some confusion regarding the distance of the race itself.

If we interpret "14 of the race" as meaning that the total race distance is indeed 14 miles, then the calculation is as follows:

  1. Total distance of the race: 14 miles
  2. Distance already run: 1.2 miles

Remaining distance = Total distance - Distance already run Remaining distance = 14 miles - 1.2 miles = 12.8 miles

However, since "12.8 miles" is not one of the response options provided, it suggests the context of the total race distance needs clarification.

Now, let's consider the possible options provided:

  • 5.2 miles
  • 3.6 miles
  • 0.3 miles
  • 1.6 miles

Without additional information directly about the total race distance, I can't select an answer based on the current understanding.

If the race distance were adjusted or defined differently, please specify. But with the assumption of a 14-mile race:

  • None of the options are correct for a 14-mile race based on the calculations demonstrated.

Please clarify the total distance of the race for accurate assistance in selection.

which one is the closest

Since we’ve established that Trey has already run 1.2 miles in a race described as "14 of the race" (which we interpret as a total of 14 miles), he has 12.8 miles left to run.

The options provided are:

  • 5.2 miles
  • 3.6 miles
  • 0.3 miles
  • 1.6 miles

The closest value to the remaining distance of 12.8 miles is not explicitly listed.

If we have to choose from the provided options based purely on proximity, the closest option is 5.2 miles.

If you meant to compare how much further he needs to run based on half or smaller segments of the run, 5.2 is still the readable choice. Please note, however, it's still quite far from 12.8 miles.
