x/28 = (1.5)/(2.25)= a constant raio of miles to minutes
x= 28(3/4.5)=28/1.5 = 56/3= 18 2/3 miles in 28 minutes
2/3 miles per minute tmes 60 minutes = 40 miles

Set it up as 1.5 divided by 2.25 Then you get 2/3(miles)per minute, so if you times it by 28(minutes), you get 18 and 2/3(miles). One hour is 60 minutes so the answer would be 40(miles).12/02/22
