Answer 1

To find Ellie's average speed, divide the distance she drove by the time it took her.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Ellie's average speed, we need to divide the distance she drove by the time it took her. Ellie drove 10.521 miles in 2/5 hours. We can divide 10.521 by 2/5 to find the average speed in miles per hour.

10.521 ÷ 2/5 = 10.521 x 5/2 = 26.3025 miles per hour

Therefore, Ellie drove at an average speed of 26.3025 miles per hour.
