Answer:

4/10

Explanation:

in multiple choice questions sometimes its good to use real numbers

im using 100 miles

of the distance from school

terry ran 1/10 so

1/10 of 100 is 10

walked 3/10 more

more means add

3/10 of 100 is +30

skipped 2/10 more

2/10 of 100 is +20

add all of them up

10+30+20= 60

"still have to go" means subtract from the original amount

100-60=40

40 out 100 is

4/10
