`Distance = 500\ miles`

`Laps = 325`

`Miles\ per\ lap = 1.54`

Required

Which option is true

First, calculate the actual distance of the race.

`Actual\ Distance = Laps * Miles\ per\ lap`

`Actual\ Distance = 325 * 1.54`

`Actual\ Distance = 500.5\ miles`

The difference between the actual distance and the given distance is:

`Difference = (500.5 - 500)\ miles`

`Difference = 0.5\ miles`

Represent as fraction

`Difference = (1)/(2)\ mile`

Option d is correct
