8 mph

Explanation:

rsm

Answer 2

8 mph

Explanation:

The equation for average speed is:

`average\ speed=(total\ distance)/(total\ time)`

Let's start by finding the distance for each animal:

`d=st\\d=3h*10(m)/(h)\\d=30m`

`d=st\\d=1h*2(m)/(h)\\d=2m`

Now, we can find the average speed:

`average \ speed=(30mi+2mi)/(3hr+1hr)=(32mi)/(4hr)=8(mi)/(h)`

8 mph
