A plane flew 1,000 miles away from London for one flight. For the next flight, it flew 500 miles toward London. How far was the plane from London after the second flight?

Answer 1

If it flew 1000 miles away form London in the first flight, and then 500 miles toward (essentially, back) to London on the second flight, then that would mean the plane was 500 miles away from London after the second flight.

1000miles - 500miles = 500miles

Answer 2

*from

Answer 3

500 miles
