Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to first convert into a fraction:

496 / 8
= 496/8

Now, we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by 8 to find the unit fraction (number of miles driven in one hour).

496 / 8 = 62
8 / 8 = 1

So, the answer is 62 miles / hr.

Hope this helps!

You find the unit rate by dividing 496 by 8
so

(496)/(8) = (62)/(1)
