Answer 2

Answer: 47.5 miles per hour

Explanation:

We know that ,

`\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}`

Given : The distance to the friend’s house is 276.45 miles. It takes the family 5.82 hours to complete the trip.

i.e. Distance = 276.45 miles

Time = 5.82 hours

Then, the rate(speed) for the family’s trip in miles per hour will be :-

`\text{Speed}=(276.45)/(5.82)=47.5\text{ miles per hour}`

Hence, the rate for the family’s trip = 47.5 miles per hour
