Your rate is 1.75 / 2.33 So to find the distance in 29 minutes we use the following formula.

d = rt

d = distance

r = rate

t = time

Plugin the numbers we know

r = rate = 1.75 / 2.33

t = time = 29 minutes

d = rt

d = (1.75 / 2.33) * 29

d = 21.78

In 29 minutes, the car will travel 21.78 miles

Do the same for the 1 hour. One hour = 60 minutes

d = rt

d = (1.75 / 2.33) * 60

d = 45.06

In 60 minutes, the car will travel 45.06 miles.
