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? Enter your answers in the boxes. (1 point) From Columbus to San Juan, Sam flies miles. He will have more miles to fly.

Answer 1

To find the total distance Sam travels from Columbus to San Juan, we need to add the distances of his two flights:

1. From Columbus to Miami: 995 miles
2. From Miami to San Juan: 1,033 miles

Total distance from Columbus to San Juan: \[ 995 \text{ miles} + 1,033 \text{ miles} = 2,028 \text{ miles} \]

Next, we calculate how many more miles he has to fly to reach Kralendijk, Bonaire. The total distance from Columbus to Kralendijk is 2,488 miles. The distance he has already traveled to San Juan is 2,028 miles.

Remaining distance to Kralendijk: \[ 2,488 \text{ miles} - 2,028 \text{ miles} = 460 \text{ miles} \]

So, the answers are:

• From Columbus to San Juan, Sam flies 2,028 miles.
• He will have 460 miles more to fly to Kralendijk.
