**Question 1: Determine the proportion to use to find how many miles the train traveled in one hour.**
To find out how many miles the train travels in one hour, you can set up the proportion as follows:
\[
\frac{300 \text{ miles}}{8 \text{ hours}} = \frac{x \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ hour}}
\]
Here, \( x \) represents the number of miles traveled in one hour.

**Question 2: How many miles does it travel in one hour?**
To find \( x \):
Using the proportion:
\[
300 = 8x
\]
Divide both sides by 8:
\[
x = \frac{300}{8} = 37.5
\]
So, the train travels **37.5 miles** in one hour.
