    Answer: Route 2 is shorter by 17 miles.

    Step-by-step explanation: Lets add the total mileage for both trips, or options to travel from Georgetown to Mayville.

    Option 1:

    53 + 28 + 98 = 179 total miles

    Option 2:

    28 + 49 + 85 = 162 total miles

    To find how much option 2 is shorter, subtract 179 - 162 = 17 miles shorter.

    Obviously, option 2, or route 2 is shorter by 17 miles.
