Answer 1

Answer: 53 miles per hour

Explanation:

To find Jennifer's average rate of speed in miles per hour, we divide the distance she traveled by the time it took her:

Average speed = distance ÷ time

Average speed = 265 miles ÷ 5 hours

Average speed = 53 miles per hour

Therefore, Jennifer's average rate of speed was 53 miles per hour.

Answer 2

53 miles per hour

Explanation:

To calculate Jennifer's average rate of speed in miles per hour, we can use the formula:

average speed = total distance / total time

In this case, Jennifer drove a total distance of 265 miles and it took her a total time of 5 hours, so:

average speed = 265 miles / 5 hours

Simplifying the expression, we get:

average speed = 53 miles per hour

Therefore, Jennifer's average rate of speed in miles per hour is 53 miles per hour.
