The ratio of the number of miles he has left to the total number of miles in the race is: [tex]\frac{8}{13}[/tex]

  • Let the the total distance be T.
  • Let the distance covered be C.
  • Let the distance uncovered be U.

Given the following data:

  • Total distance = 13 miles
  • Distance covered = 5 miles.

To find the ratio of the number of miles he has left to the total number of miles in the race:

First of all, we would find the number of miles left to cover (distance uncovered).

[tex]T = U + C[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we have:

[tex]13 = U + 5\\\\U = 13 - 5[/tex]

U = 8 miles

The ratio of the number of miles he has left to the total number of miles in the race is:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{U}{T}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{8}{13}[/tex]
