Answer 1

A) 202 miles. Pete drove 202 miles further on Monday than on Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option A) 202 miles.

To find how much further Pete drove on Monday than on Friday, we need to calculate the difference between the distances. On Monday, Pete drove 464 miles, and on Friday, he drove 262 miles. To find the difference, we subtract Friday's distance from Monday's distance:

464 miles - 262 miles = 202 miles

Therefore, Pete drove 202 miles further on Monday than on Friday.

The correct answer is option (A) 202 miles. To determine how much further Pete drove on Monday than on Friday, we simply subtract the distance he drove on Friday from the distance he drove on Monday.

So, the calculation would look like this: 464 miles (Monday) - 262 miles (Friday) = 202 miles. Therefore, Pete drove 202 miles further on Monday than he did on Friday.
