If a plane is traveling 200 mph and its been flying for 4 hours, how many miles are left before the plane reaches Las Vegas 1000 miles away ?
200 * 4 = 800 miles
Therefore:
1000 - 800 = 200 miles

Answer:
200 miles

It sounds like the plane still has a 1000 miles to go (1000 miles away) and so will take 5 more hours to get to Las Vegas
