Answer: 35 mph

Explanation:

To determine Kyra's average speed, we'll use the formula:

Average speed = Total distance traveled / Total time taken

Kyra traveled 125 miles and took 3 2/3 hours. First, we need to convert the mixed number time into decimal form.

3 2/3 hours = 3 + 2/3 = 3.66 hours

Now we can plug in the values into the formula:

Average speed = 125 miles / 3.66 hours

Average speed ≈ 34.13 miles per hour

Therefore, Kyra's average speed was approximately 34.13 miles per hour. So, 35 mph rounded up
