Answer:
6 miles per 45 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
1 mph / 4 = .25 miles per 15 minutes
We can just multiply this formula by 8 since it is 8 mph
8 mph / 4 = 2 miles per 15 minutes
but the question asks for 45 minutes, not 15, so we can multiply our answer by 3 since 45 / 15 = 3 (15 x 3 = 45)
2 miles per 15 x 3 = 6 miles per 45 minutes
(or just find 3/4 of 8 since 45 is 3/4 of 60)
