To find out how much more of the race Trey has left, we need to calculate the total distance of the race and subtract the distance he has already run.
If Trey has completed 0.25 of the race and has already run 1.2 miles, we can set up the equation:
Total distance of the race - Distance already run = Distance left
Let's call the total distance of the race 'x'.
0.25x - 1.2 = Distance left
Since we want to find out how much more of the race Trey has, we can solve for 'Distance left'.
0.25x - 1.2 = Distance left
To solve for 'x', we can add 1.2 to both sides of the equation:
0.25x - 1.2 + 1.2 = Distance left + 1.2
0.25x = Distance left + 1.2
0.25x = Distance left + 1.2
Now, we need to find the value of 'x'.
If Trey has already run 1.2 miles, the distance he has left is the total distance of the race minus 1.2 miles.
Distance left = x - 1.2
Let's substitute that value into our equation:
0.25x = x - 1.2 + 1.2
0.25x = x
Now, we have:
x = 4
Therefore, the total distance of the race is 4 miles.
To find out how much more of the race Trey has, we can subtract the distance he has already run (1.2 miles) from the total distance of the race (4 miles):
4 - 1.2 = 2.8 miles
So, Trey has 2.8 miles more of the race left.
None of the provided options match the correct answer.
To find out how much more of the race Trey has left, we need to calculate the total distance of the race he is running.
We know that Trey has completed 0.25 of the race, which is equivalent to 1.2 miles.
To find out the total distance of the race, we can use a proportion.
Let x be the total distance of the race.
0.25 / x = 1.2 / 1
Now, cross multiply:
0.25 * 1 = x * 1.2
0.25 = 1.2x
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 1.2:
0.25 / 1.2 = x
x ≈ 0.2083
Therefore, the total distance of the race Trey is running is approximately 0.2083 miles.
To find out how much more of the race Trey has left, we can subtract the distance he has already run from the total distance:
0.2083 - 1.2 ≈ -0.9917
Since the remaining distance is negative, it means that Trey has already completed the race and has run more than the total distance of the race.
So none of the provided answer options are correct.
If there is any other information you have, please provide it, and I will be happy to assist you further.
To find out how much more of the race Trey has, we need to subtract the distance he has already run from the total distance of the race.
First, let's determine the total distance of the race. Since Trey has completed 0.25 (or 25%) of the race, we can calculate the total distance using the formula:
Total Distance = Distance Completed / Percentage Completed
Total Distance = 1.2 miles / 0.25
Total Distance = 4.8 miles
Therefore, the total distance of the race is 4.8 miles.
Now, to find out how much more of the race Trey has, we subtract the distance he has already run (1.2 miles) from the total distance (4.8 miles):
Remaining Distance = Total Distance - Distance Completed
Remaining Distance = 4.8 miles - 1.2 miles
Remaining Distance = 3.6 miles
So, Trey has 3.6 miles more to run in the race.
