Peter Wilkerson · Answer 1

He lead the race for 1.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

4 tenths is equal to 4/10 = 0.4

0.4*2.5 miles = 1 mile

Lenox took the lead after the first mile of the race.

Se he lead the race for

2.5 miles - 1 mile = 1.5 miles

Which is equal to 60% of the whole trajectory.
