Answer:
d = 780
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
You can do this with a proportion which will save you figuring out the rate. I'll do it both ways
Proportion
480/8 = x / 13 Cross Multiply
8*x = 13*480
8x = 6240
x = 780 miles
======================
Remark
Often times we like questions to follow a formula. Here's the formula method.
Formula
d = r * t
Givens
t = 8 hours
d = 480miles
r = ?
480 = r * 8
480 / 8 = r
r = 60
Second part
r = 60 miles per hour
t = 13 hours
d = ?
d = 60*13
d = 780 miles
