Explanation:

We have been Carter and his family are driving from o find the total Atlanta to Raleigh. They drive for 2 hours and 45 minutes at an average speed of 60 miles per hour.

To solve our given problem we will use Distance formula.

`\text{Distance}=\text{Speed*Time}`

Let us convert 45 minutes to hours by dividing 45 by 60.

`\text{45 minutes}=(45)/(60)\text{ hour}`

`\text{45 minutes}=0.75\text{ hour}`

Upon substituting our given values in distance formula we will get,

`\text{Distance covered by Carter family}=2.75\text{ hours}* \frac{\text{60 miles}}{\text{Hour}}`

`\text{Distance covered by Carter family}=2.75*\text{60 miles}`

`\text{Distance covered by Carter family}=\text{165 miles}`

Therefore, the Carter family traveled 165 miles in 2 hours and 45 minutes.
