105 miles

Explanation:

s=d/t

We are given:

s=45 " m/h"

t=2 1/3 "h"= 7/3 "h"

To find the distance, d:

s=d/t

=>d=st

=>d=45"m/h" xx 7/3 "h"

=>d=cancelcolor(red)(45)^color(blue)(15) "m"/"h" xx 7/cancelcolor(red)(3) "h"

=>d=15"m"/cancelcolor(red)("h") xx 7cancelcolor(red)("h")

=>d=15 "m" xx 7

=>d=105"m"
