Speed of Han: 8 miles per hour (mph)

We know that he starts at point 0, so the distance can be calculated using the formula:


d(t)=v\cdot t

Where v is the speed, and t is the time passed (in hours). After 45 minutes (or 3/4 hours), with a speed of 8mph, we calculate the distance:


d((3)/(4))=8\cdot(3)/(4)=6\text{ miles}
