Solution:

Given:


\begin{gathered} \text{time, t = 9hours} \\ dis\tan ce,\text{ d=460.8miles} \end{gathered}

The formula for calculating speed is given by;


\text{speed}=\frac{distance}{\text{time}}

Substituting the given data into the formula,


\begin{gathered} \text{speed}=\frac{distance}{\text{time}} \\ \text{speed}=(460.8)/(9) \\ \text{speed}=51.2\text{miles per hour} \end{gathered}

Therefore, Elsa's speed was 51.2 miles per hour
