    Initial velocity of John's car (V1) = 0 miles per hour

    Final velocity of John's car (V2) = 45 miles per hour

    Time taken for acceleration = 45 seconds

    Then

    Acceleration = (V2 - V1) / Time taken

    = (45 - 0) / 15 miles per hour per second

    = 45/15 miles per hour per second

    = 3 miles per hour per second.

    So the approximate rate of change in the miles per hour that John's car accelerated is 3 miles per hour per second. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "A".
