miles per hour
2 miles per hour
4 miles per hour
o 15 miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer is 15 miles per hour

Answer 2

Answer: 4 miles per hour

Explanation:

45 ÷ 60 = 0.75 (60 minutes would be 1 hour and 45 minutes is 0.75 as it is 45 out of 60 minutes)

Using Rate = Distance ÷ time

3 miles ÷ 0.75 hours = 4 miles per hour
