I'll assume that you drive exactly at the speed limit the duration of your trip.
Speed limits are written in miles per hour. This is the same as miles divided by hours.
The number of miles is 496, and the number of hours is 8.
So, we should divide 496 by 8.

Therefore, the speed limit all the way there is 62 miles per hour.
