Answer 1

To find out how many more miles Mr. Cooke drove than Mr. Adams and Mrs. Bends combined, we first need to calculate the total miles driven by Mr. Adams and Mrs. Bends.

Mr. Adams drove: 11,320 miles
Mrs. Bends drove: 10,699 miles

Combined miles driven by Mr. Adams and Mrs. Bends: \[ 11,320 + 10,699 = 22,019 \text{ miles} \]

Next, we find the difference between the miles driven by Mr. Cooke and the combined miles of Mr. Adams and Mrs. Bends. Mr. Cooke drove: 24,002 miles

Difference: \[ 24,002 - 22,019 = 1,983 \text{ miles} \]

So, Mr. Cooke drove 1,983 miles more than Mr. Adams and Mrs. Bends combined.

The correct response is 1,983 miles.
