Answer: The average rate of speed is 3 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the team tool bella canoed
15(3)/(4) miles in
5(1)/(4) hours. We are given to find the average rate of speed in miles per hour (mph).

We will be using unitary method to solve the given problem.

Now,


15(3)/(4)=(63)/(4),~~~~~5(1)/(4)=(21)/(4).

According to the question,

In
(21)/(4) hours, number of miles canoed by the team is


=(63)/(4)~\textup{miles}.

Therefore, in 1 hour, number of miles canoed by the team is given by


((63)/(4))/((21)/(4))=(63)/(4)* (4)/(21)=3~\textup{miles}.

Thus, the average rate of speed is 3 miles per hour.
