Answer 1

To find out how many miles Tim drove, subtract the distance that Olivia drove from the total distance:

Total distance = 1,292 miles
Distance Olivia drove = 553 miles

Distance Tim drove = Total distance - Distance Olivia drove
Distance Tim drove = 1,292 miles - 553 miles
Distance Tim drove = 739 miles

So, Tim drove 739 miles.
