Answer: Her average speed would be 8.89 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 2 = 6 minutes

Time taken to run from mile marker 2 to mile marker 4 = 21 minutes

So, Number of miles from 1 to 4 = 4 miles

total time taken = 6+21 = 27 minutes

So, Average speed would be


(4)/(27)* 60\\\\=(240)/(27)\\\\=8.89\ mph

Hence, her average speed would be 8.89 miles per hour.
