Answer:

The rate is 265mph, and the jet will fly 2120mi in 8h at this rate.

Explanation:

First of all, calculate the rate of travel:


530 / 2 = 265

So, the speed is 265mph.

Now, apply it to the value that is requested:


265 * 8 = 2120

The rate is 265mph, and the jet will fly 2120mi in 8h at this rate.
