Answer: 247 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: First, we need to convert the 45 minutes into hours. we know that 1 hour = 60 minutes. Dividing any number of minutes by sixty gives us the number of hours along with the remaining minutes if there are any. so 45/60 simplifies to 3/4. Now for the miles, it's given that the speed is 52 mph. So we can put into the expression 52(4+3/4)= total miles. Once we distribute 52, we get 208 + 39, which equals to 247.
