Well you need to first convert 4hrs and 15 minutes to either a decimal hours or minutes, I would do minutes so 255 minutes. Then you set up a proportion of 56miles xmiles
----------- = --------------- Then solve 60x=(56*255)
60 minutes 255 minutes 60x=14280
----- ---------
60 60
x= 238
so the answer is 238miles
