Question

1. Olivia and Brandon take a road trip that is 1, 792 miles. The odometer reading on their car when they start out is

58, 236 miles. After one day, the odometer reading is 58, 857 miles. How many miles do they have left before they
reach their destination?
1,351 miles
1,171 miles

Answer 1

1,171 miles

Explanation:

The trip is 1792 miles.

They have driven (58857 - 58236) miles of the trip so far (because the odometer change is equal to the distance driven).

(58857 - 58236) = 621

They still need to drive 1792 - 621 miles

1792 - 621 = 1171

So they have 1171 miles left until they complete the trip.
