Santa flew his sleigh for 2,430 miles. He flew his sleigh 522 mph for the first 2 hours and 462 mph for the rest of his trip. How long did Santa fly at 462 mph and how did you figure that out?

You've figured out how far he went in the first two hours, and thus how much distance remained to be covered at 462 mph. How much further have you gotten? Where are you stuck?

Please reply showing all of your work and reasoning. Thank you.
