Step-by-step explanation:

I am not quite sure if this is correct.

first I figured out how many minutes per 1 mile: 24

then I figured out how exactly much time 1.5 hours is: 1 hour and 12 minutes. then I subtracted that from 2 hours, knowing that 1.5 hours is 3 miles, I found that there was only 48 minutes remaining in that hour, which would be 24×2, aka 2 miles. so the final answer would be 5 miles, sorry for the run-on sentence. Yet again, I am not quite sure if this is right-
