Trey is running in a race. He has completed 1/4 of the race so far. He has already run 1.2 miles. How much more of the race does Trey have?
Responses
• 4.8 miles
• 5.2 miles
• 0.3 miles
• 1.6 miles
To find out how much more of the race Trey has left, we need to find out how long the entire race is and subtract the distance Trey has already run.
Trey has completed 1/4 of the race, which means there are 3/4 of the race left for him to run. We can find out how long the entire race is by doing:
1.2 miles / (1/4) = 1.2 miles * (4/1) = 4.8 miles.
Therefore, the entire race is 4.8 miles long.
Now, we can find out how much more of the race Trey has left:
4.8 miles - 1.2 miles = 3.6 miles.
So, Trey has 3.6 miles more of the race left.
The correct response is 3.6 miles, but since this is not an option, the closest option is 4.8 miles.
To find out how much more of the race Trey has left, we need to determine the total distance of the race first.
Given that Trey has completed 1/4 of the race and has already run 1.2 miles, we can use this information to find the total distance of the race.
Let's assign the variable "x" to represent the total distance of the race.
Since Trey has completed 1/4 of the race, we can write the equation:
1/4 * x = 1.2
To solve for "x," we can multiply both sides by 4:
(1/4 * x) * 4 = 1.2 * 4
x = 4.8
Therefore, the total distance of the race is 4.8 miles.
To find out how much more of the race Trey has left, we need to subtract the distance Trey has already run from the total distance of the race:
4.8 - 1.2 = 3.6
Therefore, Trey has 3.6 miles more of the race left.
Answer: Trey has 3.6 miles more of the race left.
To find out how much more of the race Trey has left, we need to determine the total distance of the race first. We know that Trey has completed 1/4 of the race, which means that he has three more equal parts left.
Since 1/4 of the race is equal to 1.2 miles, we can set up the following equation to find the total distance of the race:
1/4 * Total Distance = 1.2
To solve for the total distance, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
Total Distance = 1.2 * 4
Total Distance = 4.8 miles
Therefore, Trey has 4.8 miles left to run.
The correct answer is 4.8 miles.
