Answer:

Explanation:

The distance that the bug ran is the absolute value of the difference between its initial position and final position:

distance = |-47 - (-12)| = |-47 + 12| = 35

Therefore, the bug ran a distance of 35 units.

To calculate the average speed, we need to divide the distance by the time:

average speed = distance / time = 35 / 7 = 5

The units of average speed are units of distance divided by units of time, so the average speed of the bug is 5 units per minute (unit/min).
