First you need to find the rate. This problem is based on the formula d = rt
d = distance
r = rate 
t = time.

The question is asking how many miles will it travel in 8 hours so to find this out we need to find the rate when the car travels 240 miles in 4 hours. We use this information and plug it into the model d = rt

d = 240
r = don't know yet
t = 4 hr
d = rt 
240 = 4r
240 / 4 = 4r / 4
60 = r
r = 60
So the car is going at a rate of 60 miles per hour. Now that we know this we can solve for how many miles the car will travel in 8 hours.
d = rt
d = r * t
d = 60 * 8
d = 480

So the car will travel 480 miles in 8 hours

Another way to think about this is that you know the car traveled 240 miles in 4 hours and the question is wanting to know how far the car will travel in 8 hours, which would be double the 4 hours so 240 + 240 = 480
