Dante Ferrell · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance ran before the injury, Di = 7/8 mile

Distance left after the injury, Do = 5/8 mile

Total distance of the race, Dt = distance ran before the injury, Di + distance left after the injury, Do

Dt = Di + Do

= 7/8 + 5/8

= 12/8 mile.
