Answer:

102 mph

Explanation:

Eliana travels at an average speed of 50 mph for 60 miles.

Without stopping, Eliana then travels 130 miles in 2.5 hours.

We calculate the speed here

Speed = Distance in miles /Time in hours

Speed = 130 miles/2.5 hours

= 52 miles per hour

Hence, her average speed for the entire journey is calculated as:

50 mph + 52 mph

= 102 mph
