Question

Jonathan is traveling for work. This morning his GPS indicated that the total distance to his destination is 589.4. Before lunch he drove 208.62 miles. How much farther does Jonathan need to travel?

Answer 1

589.4 subtracted by 208.64 equals 380.78 miles left to drive

589.4 - 208.64 = 380.78

Answer 2

Information

I'll assume the total distance from the starting point is in miles, since the rest of the questions is in miles.

The total distance that needs to be covered is 589.4 miles. Jonathan drove 208.62 miles already.

Steps

Simply subtract the total amount of miles (from your starting point to your destination point) to the total amount of miles driven.

589.40 (total miles)

- 208.62 (miles driven)

--------------------------------------

380.78 (miles remaining)

Double-Check

If you'd like to double-check, simply add the miles remaining (your final answer) with the total amount of miles driven:

380.78 (miles remaining)

+ 208.62 (miles driven)

----------------------------------------

589.40 (total miles)

Final Answer

Jonathan needs to travel 380.78 more miles to reach his destination.
