How far is it by plane? ** The distance between Arizona and New York is 2,000 miles by plane.
How far is it by car? ** The distance between Arizona and New York is 40% greater by car, which is 40% * 2,000 = <<40*.01*2000=800>>800 miles.
How far is it by car? ** This results in a total of 2,000 + 800 = <<2000+800=2800>>2,800 miles between Arizona and New York by car.
How far is it from Missouri to New York? ** If Missouri is in the middle of the way between Arizona and New York, someone would drive half of the distance to go from Missouri to New York, which is 2,800 / 2 = <<2800/2=1400>>1,400.
