Given:
1 mile = 1.6 km
So, 8 miles per hour in kilometers per hour is given by:
[tex]\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1.6}{x}[/tex]Where x = # of kilometers
So, solve for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x\cdot1=1.6\cdot8 \\ x=12.8 \end{gathered}[/tex]This is 12.8 km per hour
Next, the distance traveled in 2 hours is:
[tex]rate=\frac{distance}{time}\rightarrow distance=rate\times time[/tex]Substitute the values:
[tex]distance=12.8\times2=25.6[/tex]Answer:
Rate: 12.8 km/h
Distance traveled in 2 hours: 25.6 km
