Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the trail that Brandon is hiking is 4.2 miles long, and Brandon plans to stop for Lunch after he completes 1.6 miles.

The expression represents the remaining distance Brandon needs to hike will be gotten by subtracting 1.6 miles from 4.2 miles. This will be:

= 4.2 - 1.6

= 2.6 miles
