Answer:

30 3/4 miles, 45 miles

Explanation:

First we find the unit rate, in miles per minute:

2 1/2 miles 5/2 mi 1/2 mi 1 mi

--------------------- = --------------- = ------------- = -------------- = 3/4 mile/min

3 1/3 minutes 10/3 min 2/3 min 4/3 min

In 41 minutes the car will travel (3/4 mi/min)(41 min) = 123/4 mi = 30 3/4 mi

In 1 hour, or 60 minutes, the car will travel (3/4)(60) mi = 45 mi
