He then flies from Miami to San Juan, Puerto Rico, a distance of 1,033 miles. How many miles will he travel flying from Columbus to San Juan? How many more miles does he have to fly to Kralendijk?

Answer 1

460 miles

Explanation:

Given

Total = 2488 miles

Miami = 995 miles

San Juan = 1033 miles

Required

Determine the remaining distance

The remaining distance is:

Remainder = Total - Miami - San Juan

Remainder = 2488 - 995 - 1033

Remainder = 460 miles
