Answer:Average speed =50 miles per hour or 50mph

Explanation:

We know that Speed is given as= Distance/ Time

Nimer's distance to his destination = 65 miles

Time taken to his destination = 13:30 to 14:48

which is = 14:48--13:30 = 1:18 mins

Converting 1hr 18mins to hours = 1 hour + 18/ 60 = 1 + 0.3 = 1.3 hours

Average speed =Distance/ Time

Average speed = 65miles/ 1.3hr = 50 miles per hour
