Answer:

33.75 miles in 45 minutes,

45 miles in an hour

Explanation:

45 minutes: 2 1/3= 7/3 ---> 7/3*3=7,

1 3/4= 7/4 ---> 7/4*3=5.25

car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,

45/7*5.25= 33.75 miles

1 hour (60 minutes):

using that the car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,

60/7*5.25= 45 miles

Hope that makes sense!
