Answer 1

56.7

Explanation:

I took the test online in K12 and when I reviewed it said that 56.7 is the correct answer.

Answer 2

= 56.7 miles per hour

Explanation:

To find the average speed for the entire journey, we need to find the entire distance and the total time

Entire distance = 210 miles + 130 miles = 340 miles

Total time = 3.5 hours and 2.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed = distance/ time = 340 miles/ 6 hours

= 56.66666666666 miles per hour

Rounding to the nearest tenth

= 56.7 miles per hour
