Divide the mileage by the hours. That will be the answer. And to check your work multiply the answer by the hours, and that should amount of the mileage.
dividing 754 by 13 will give you the distance per hour
you then have to multiply by 8
or
use a simple ratio:
x/8 = 754/13
x = 8*754/13 =......
notice I performed the same steps as above
