Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation:  

1 and 3/4 miles               ???? miles

--------------------  = ---------------------

2 and 1/3 minutes         39 minutes

Cross multiplies:

(1 and 3/4) x 39 =   (2 and 1/3)  x    ?

7/4 x 39/1   = 7/3 x ?

273/4 = 7/3 x ?

? = 273/4 * 3/7 =  39*3/4   <---- 7 x 39 = 273

                        = 117/4

                         = 29 and 1/4

---------------------------------------------------------------

1 and 3/4 miles              ?

2 and 1/3 min             60 min

(1 and 3/4) * 60 = (2 and 1/3) * ?

7/4*60/1 = 7/3 * ?

105 = 7/3 * ?

? = 105*3/7

 = 315/7

 =  45
