Hey there! :D

We know that there are 60 minutes in a hour.

The car travels for 75 minutes.

75 minutes= 1 hour and 15 minutes.

1*40= 40

60/15= 4

We know that 15 minutes of driving is a quarter of an hour.

40/4= 10

40+10= 50

The car drove 50 miles.

I hope this helps!

50 miles, because it is going 60 minutes (1 hour) and that's 40, adding one fourth of 60 (which is 15) and one fourth of 40 (which is 10) it would have to be 50 miles.
