The scale drawing shows that the distance between City X and City Y is 4 inches. Since 1 inch on the scale drawing represents 11 miles, the actual distance between the two cities is 4 inches * 11 miles/inch = <<4*11=44>>44 miles.
Isaac drives at an average speed of 40 miles per hour, so it will take him 44 miles / 40 miles/hour = <<44/40=1.1>>1.1 hours to drive from City X to City Y.
To convert from decimal hours to hours and minutes, multiply the decimal part by 60 minutes/hour to get the number of minutes.
0.1 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 6 minutes.
So, it will take Isaac 1 hour and 6 minutes to drive from City X to City Y. Answer: \boxed{1 \, \text{hour and } 6 \, \text{minutes}}.
