3.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation

to find the velocity we need to use this formula


\text{velocity}=\frac{dis\tan ce}{\text{time}}

then

Step 1

let


\begin{gathered} \text{distance}=3.5\text{ miles} \\ \text{time}=1\text{ hour} \end{gathered}

Now, replace.


\begin{gathered} \text{velocity}=\frac{dis\tan ce}{\text{time}} \\ \text{velocity}=\frac{3.5\text{ miles}}{1\text{ hour}} \\ \text{velocity}=\text{ 3.5 miles per hour} \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is

3.5 miles per hour

I hope this helps you
