If a relay lasts 5.92 miles and there are 4 runners on the team, we can divide the total distance by the number of runners to find the distance each person runs.

5.92 miles / 4 runners = 1.48 miles per runner

Therefore, each person on the relay team would run a distance of 1.48 miles, assuming that each runner runs in the same direction in the race.

It's important to note that in a relay race, each runner usually runs a specific distance that is predetermined by the race organizers. This distance may be different from the total distance of the race, and it may also be different for each runner on the team. However, if all runners on the team are running equal distances, as in this case, then we can simply divide the total distance by the number of runners to find the distance each person runs.
