Answer:

33 miles per hour

Explanation:

To find the speed of the car in miles per hour, we need to divide the number of miles traveled by the time in hours. We can convert minutes to hours by dividing by 60. So, the time in hours is 45 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 0.75 hours. Then, we can divide the distance traveled by the time to find the speed:

25 miles / 0.75 hours = 33.33 miles per hour

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the speed of the car was 33 miles per hour.
