To determine how many miles Maggie can jog in 45 minutes, we first need to find her jogging rate.
Maggie's rate is:
\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{3 \text{ miles}}{30 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{1 \text{ mile}}{10 \text{ minutes}}
\]
Now, we want to find the distance Maggie can jog in 45 minutes. Since we know she can jog 1 mile in 10 minutes, we can calculate the distance for 45 minutes as follows:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} = 1 \text{ mile} \times \left(\frac{45 \text{ minutes}}{10 \text{ minutes}}\right) = 1 \text{ mile} \times 4.5 = 4.5 \text{ miles}
\]
So, if Maggie jogs for 45 minutes, she will cover a distance of **4.5 miles**.
The answer is **B. 4.5 miles**.
