Given data: Distance= 871 and time =13 hrs
Required: Find the distance
Method: Find the speed first and then get the distance
Step 1: Find the average speed
[tex]\text{speed}=\frac{\text{distance covered}}{\text{time taken}}[/tex][tex]\text{speed}=\frac{871}{13}=67\text{ miles/hour}[/tex]Step 2: Find the distance to be covered in 8 hours
[tex]\text{Distance}=\text{ spe}ed\text{ x time taken}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Distance}=67\text{ miles/hour x 8 hours } \\ \text{Distance =536 miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, Maria will drive 536 miles in 8 hours
