Answer:

50 miles / hours.

Explanation:

Speed may be defined as the distance covered by the object per unit time.

Speed =
(distance)/(time)

the distance of the business trip = 375 miles.

the time taken by the business trip = 7 hours 30 minutes = 7.5 hrs.

Speed =
(375)/(7.5)

Speed = 50 miles / hours.

Here, the average of miler per hour is 50 miles / hours.
