We know that the distance, speed, and time it takes are all connected. Here are the three forms of the equation that describes the connection:

- - Distance = (speed) x (time)

- - Speed = (distance) / (time)

- - Time = (distance) / (speed)

Since the question is asking "How long?", the answer will be a time. The easiest equation to use is the third one:

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (650 km) / (80 km/hr)

Time = (650/80) (km / km/hr)

Time = 8.125 hours

(Time = 8 hrs 7 minutes 30 seconds)
