I believe the answer is about 22.43 kilometers per hour. However I am not 100% sure.

How I got this: first you add 64 and 93, then 5 and 2. That would leave you with the kilometers traveled (157) over the number of hours (7). You’d have to divide, which would leave you with an estimated 22.4285. Round to the nearest hundredth and you get 22.43 . Please correct me if I’m wrong!
