You can put this solution on YOUR website!
How many miles did Deon drive each hour? That's Deon's speed.
Deon's speed was
936miles%2F13hours=72 miles per hour.
If Deon can drive 72+miles each hour,
he can do that hour after hour, after hour,
648%2F72=9 times (meaning highlight%289hours%29 ) to cover the 648miles .
