Answer:
\Large\boxed{576}

Explanation:

Given information


\text{936 miles in 13 hours}

Requirement of the question


\text{Find the miles in 8 hours}

Create a proportional relationship


(936)/(13) =(x)/(8)

Cross multiply the fractions


13x=936*8


13x=7488\\

Divide 13 on both sides


13x/13=7488/13


x=\Large\boxed{576}

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
