Answer:

Based on my calculations, she has 6 5/6 miles left.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I converted all numbers to be the same fractions.

1 2/3 = 1 8/12

3/4 = 9/12

8 1/4 = 8 3/12

Then adding her current progress together equals 17/12 = 1 5/12

Finally, subtracting 1 5/12 from 8 3/12 equals 6 10/12

6 10/12 = 6 5/6

I don't know if the answer choices were a typo, but that is what I came to.
