To find the distance left to get to Bloomsfield after 312 hours of traveling, we need to substitute h = 312 into the function D(h) = 440 - 65h:

D(312) = 440 - 65(312)
D(312) = 440 - 20,280
D(312) = -19,840

Therefore, the distance left to get to Bloomsfield after 312 hours of traveling is -19,840 miles.
