Given :
Distance ran by Carly = 5/8 of a mile
Distance ran by julia = 7/8 of a mile
Total distance = 1 mile
So, distance to be run by Carly = (1 - 5/8) mile
= (8-5)/8
= 3/8 mile
And, distance to be run by julia = (1-7/8) mile
= (8-7)/8
= 1/8 mile
Thus, Carly needs to run 3/8 mile and julia needs to run 1/8 mile to finish the race .
