Answer 1

The average speed is 52.6 miles/hour.

Explanation:

Given,

The distance (D) = 389.24 miles

Time (T) = 7.4 hours

To find the speed

Formula

Distance = Speed × Time

Now,

Speed =
`(Distance)/(Time)`

=
`(389.24)/(7.4)` miles/ hour

= 52.6 miles/ hour

Hence, the average speed is 52.6 miles/hour.
