They traveled approximately 165 miles.The speed is not constant so it is not the exact number.

Answer: The distance they traveled is 165 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Distance = Speed × time,

here, the speed = 60 miles per hour,

time = 2 hours 45 minutes

= [tex]2\frac{45}{60}[/tex]

= [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex]

Thus, the distance they traveled,

[tex]D = 60 \times \frac{11}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{660}{4}=165[/tex] miles,

Hence, they traveled 165 miles.
