49 miles per hour

Since you want to find the average rate of travel, you have to divide 735 by 15.

This way you would be able to the the average rate of change.

When you find averages you would add all the numbers and divide it by how many numbers there are.

If you add 49, 15 times and divide it by 15 you would be about to get 49.
