Explanation

Time = 1 hr + 16/60 hr + 17/3600 hr = 1 + 0.2666 + 0.004722 = 1.271388 hr. Distance = 59.3 * 1.271388 = 75.39 km. Option B is the closest.

AI explanation

Using the formula distance = speed into time, we first convert the given time into hours. The time of 1 hour 16 minutes and 17 seconds is 1 + 16/60 + 17/3600 hours, which equals 1.27138 hours. Multiplying this by the speed of 59.3 km/hr gives a distance of 75.41 km. The distance covered is 75.41 km.
