Answer:

Pete's average speed is 12.5 miles per hour

Explanation:

Miles per hour means how many miles were driven in 1 hour so :

50 miles in 4 hours = ? miles in 1 hour
4 ÷ x = 1

4/x = 1

x = 4

50÷4 = ?

50/4 = ?

? = 12.5

Pete's average speed is 12.5 miles per hour

Hope this helped and have a good day
