Answer:

45 miles.

Explanation:

The car is traveling 0.75 miles every minute.

So, we can write that the car is moving in a minute 0.75 miles.

Here, the distance traveled by car is proportional to the time of travel i.e. the rate of distance traveled per minute is constant.

Hence, in 1 hour i.e. 60 minutes the car will travel by (0.75 × 60) = 45 miles. (Answer)
