Answer:

20 miles

Explanation:

She traveled 4 miles in 15 minutes.

She went at the same speed for another hour.

1 hour is 60 minutes.

60 = 4 * 15

There are 4 15-minute periods in an hour.

Since she went 4 miles in 15 minutes, she went 4 * 4 miles in 1 hour.

4 * 4 miles = 16 miles.

She went 4 miles in 15 minutes and another 16 miles in an hour.

The total distance she traveled is 4 miles + 16 miles = 20 miles.

Answer: 20 miles
