Answer:

It would take Brennan 4 track practice runs.

Explanation:

He has already run 16 miles and needs to run 28 in total. If we are counting the 16 in the 28 miles, he would need to run only 12 more to reach his goal. And if he runs 3 miles a run, it would take him about 4 runs to finish his 28-mile goal.

(28-16=12 and 12/3=4)
