To find the miles traveled per hour, we need to divide the total distance traveled (357 miles) by the total time taken (5 hours and 15 minutes).
Since the time is given in hours and minutes, we need to convert the minutes to hours.
There are 60 minutes in one hour. So, 15 minutes is equal to 15/60 = 0.25 hours.
Thus, the total time taken is 5 hours + 0.25 hours = 5.25 hours.
Now, we can calculate the miles traveled per hour by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken:
Miles per hour = Distance / Time = 357 miles / 5.25 hours = 68 miles/hour.
Therefore, the car travels 68 miles per hour.
