Why are you struggling with this. Just count it.

1 hour -- 45 miles
2 hours -- 90 miles
3 hours -- 135 miles
4 hours -- 180 miles -- Whoops! Too far.

Obtain an exact answer by division.

150 miles / (45 mph) = 3 and 1/3 hours = 200 minutes

Don't let problems scare you. Relax, clear your mind, and just think about them a while.
