Answer: 4 miles per hour.


Explanation:

Total distance ran by Joy= 13 miles

Total time taken by Joy =3 and 1/4 hours


=3+(1)/(4)\ hours\\=(13)/(4)\ hours

The average rate of running=
\frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{time taken}}


(13)/((13)/(4))=(4)/(1)=4\text{ miles per hour}

Hence, her average rate=4 miles per hour.
