676 miles = 13 hours
676/13 = distance travelled in one hour
52 miles = 1 hour
52 * 8 = 1 hour * 8
416 miles = 8 hours
Distance travelled in eight hours = 416 miles

Use
+d+=+r%2At+
+r+=+d%2Ft+
The rate is:
+676+%2F+13+=+52+ mi/hr
----------------
+d+=+r%2At+
+d+=+52%2A8+
+d+=+416+
The train travels 416 mi in 8 hrs
