Answer 2

13.7 miles per hour

Explanation:

A snowmobile travels 32 miles in
`2(1)/(3)` hours.

First we convert
`2(1)/(3)` hours to decimal form.

`2(1)/(3)` hours

=
`(7)/(3)`

= 2.33 hours

speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

s =
`(32)/(2.33)`

= 13.733 ≈ 13.7 miles per hour.

The average speed of the snowmobile 13.7 miles per hour.
