In this problem, firefighters are training in a building that has 48 stories. They've already gone up 29 stories, and the question asks how many stories they still need to go to reach the top.

To find the answer, you simply subtract the number of stories they've already climbed from the total number of stories:

\[
48 - 29 = 19
\]

So, the firefighters still need to go **19 stories** to reach the top floor.

Here are 5 questions related to this problem:
1. What if the building were 60 stories tall, and the firefighters had climbed 45 stories?
2. How many stories would they need to climb if they were halfway up a 50-story building?
3. If the firefighters took 1 minute per story, how long would it take them to climb the remaining 19 stories?
4. What if the firefighters had already gone up 35 stories in a 60-story building, how many are left?
5. How would the calculation change if the building were twice as tall?

**Tip:** When solving word problems, clearly identify the quantities you're working with and perform step-by-step operations.

A firefighter training course is taking place in a high-rise building. The high-rise building where they practice is 48 stories high. If the emergency happens on the top floor and the firefighters have already gone 29 stories, how many stories do they still need to go?

Solve a basic arithmetic problem involving subtraction to find out how many stories firefighters still need to climb in a 48-story building when they have already ascended 29 stories. This problem is ideal for students in Grades 3-5 and teaches fundamental subtraction skills.
