1 hour = 3600 seconds
80 km/hr = 80 km/3600 seconds
d = 8* 80/3600 km
8/45 km
d = 0.1777... km

Solution: First we find how many hours are 8 seconds:Divide 8/3600=2/900 h
For 2/900 h you traveled: 80kph%2A%282%2F900%29h=%28160%2F900%29k=%2816%2F90%29k=%288%2F45%29k
Answer: For 8 seconds you traveled approximately 0.178 k or 178 m.
