Answer:

Average speed = 68 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total distance traveled by the family, d = 340 miles

The family traveled 5 hours southeast.

We need to find her average speed. The speed of an object is given by the total distance covered divided by time taken. So,


v=(d)/(t)

Put all the values,


v=(340)/(5)\\\\v=68\ mph

So, her average speed is equal to 68 mph.
