Final answer:
Richard traveled 1,922.77 miles farther than John by subtracting John's distance from Richard's distance.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to calculate how much farther Richard went as compared to John. Richard took a trip from Montreal to Vancouver, a distance of 2,937.67 miles, whereas John traveled from Chicago to Denver, covering 1,014.9 miles.
To find out how much farther Richard's trip was, we subtract the distance of John's trip from the distance of Richard's trip:
Distance Richard went farther than John = Distance Richard traveled - Distance John traveled
Distance Richard went farther than John = 2,937.67 miles - 1,014.9 miles
Distance Richard went farther than John = 1,922.77 miles
Therefore, Richard went 1,922.77 miles farther than John.
