Dustin, a truck driver, has a delivery to make that is 866 miles away. If Dustin drives at a steady rate of 70 miles per hour for 540 minutes, how many more miles does he have to go?

236. 540/60=9 and 9(hr) x 70 (speed) = (distance)=630 and 866-630=236

70 miles per hour for 9 hours gets Dustin 630 miles toward his goal.

Dustin has 236 miles to go.
