They still have 160 miles to go

<h3>How many miles do they still have to go?</h3>

The total distance is given as:

Total distance = 300 miles

The distance at the halfway is represented as:

Halfway = 0.5 * Total distance

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Halfway = 0.5 * 300 miles

Evaluate the product

Halfway = 150 miles

They stopped to have lunch 10 miles before the halfway.

This is represented as:

Lunch = 150 miles - 10 miles

Evaluate

Lunch = 140 miles

The remaining distance is

Remaining distance = 300 miles - 140 miles

Evaluate

Remaining distance = 160 miles

Hence, they still have 160 miles to go
