Answer 1

Answer: 198 families live farther than 1 mile from the square.

Explanation:

We know that there are 238 families that live within 1 mile of the village square. To find the number of families that live farther than 1 mile from the square, we can subtract 238 from the total number of families:

436 - 238 = 198

Therefore, 198 families live farther than 1 mile from the square. We can do this subtraction mentally without needing a calculator.
