Step 1: Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Distance a cargo traveled = 300 (We don't know if these are miles, kilometres or other measure)

Time the cargo traveled = 5.5 hours

Step 2: Let's write our equation, as follows:

Average speed = Distance/Time

Step 3: Substitute the values we know in our equation:

Average speed = 300/5.5

Average speed = 54.55

The average speed is 54.55 units (rounding to the next hundredth)
