Let "d" be this distance.


The "time equation" is


     -  =   of an hour  (= 45 minutes).


To solve it, multiply both sides by 900.  You will get


    20d - 9d = 675

      11d    = 675

        d    =  = 61.364.


CHECK.    = 0.75 =   of an hour.  ! Correct !


ANSWER.  The distance is 61.364 km.

Solved.
