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 stated that he has completed "14 of the race," it seems like there is a misunderstanding; this might refer to the percentage or segment completed. However, since we know he has run 1.2 miles and the options provided are specific mileages, let's assume that the race is 3.6 miles in total since it's a common race distance.

Here’s how we can work it out:

  1. If the total distance of the race is 3.6 miles and he has already run 1.2 miles, we can calculate the remaining distance he must run:

    Total distance - Distance completed = Remaining distance 3.6 miles - 1.2 miles = 2.4 miles

Since 2.4 miles doesn't correspond to the options provided, let’s consider another total distance.

If we instead interpret "14 of the race" to mean that perhaps Trey has completed 14% of some unknown total distance, let's say the total distance (at 100%) of the race is 8.57 miles (which is the distance where 1.2 miles equals 14%).

Total distance formula: Remaining distance = Total distance - Distance completed Remaining distance = 8.57 miles - 1.2 miles = 7.37 miles

However, these calculations keep leading us to an unlisted option.

Given only the listed choices, let's re-evaluate:

  1. If Trey runs the initial 1.2 miles continues with the assumption of distance total being 3.6 miles, means: For each answer option:
  • 1.6 miles: Is not sufficient; he completes total of 1.2 + 1.6 => 2.8 miles.
  • 3.6 miles implies he needs to run more than he should already have run.
  • 5.2 miles: Same issue as above.

None of the answers provided maintain a concrete structure based only on the 1.2 miles established from the options given.

Thus, If we assume that the race's total is 3.6 miles officially (corresponding to an option): The answer would logically follow as 2.4 miles remaining—not listed.

Please clarify if the race holds a known total other than those illustrated in instance response outcomes, or provide further parameters to work toward!
