Question

In the morning, the trip odometer in Mr. Chin's car read 47 miles. At the end of the day, the trip odometer read 114 miles. How

many miles did Mr. Chin drive that day?

Answer 1

67 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

An odometer measures the distance traveled by a vehicle.

To calculate the number of miles Mr Chin drove that day, subtract the reading of the odometer at the start of the day from the reading of the odometer at the end of the day.

Given information:

• Starting odometer reading = 47 miles
• Ending odometer reading = 114 miles

⇒ Number of miles driven = 114 - 47

= 67 miles

Answer 2

67 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

• initial reading: 47 miles

• final reading: 114 miles

miles travelled:

• final reading - initial reading

• 114 - 47

• 67 miles
