Answer:

37 4/5 miles per hour

Explanation:

Take the miles and divide by the time

25 1/5 ÷ 2/3

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

(5*25 +1)/5 ÷ 2/3

126/5 ÷ 2/3

Copy dot flip

126/5 *3/2

378/10

Changing to mixed number

10 goes into 378 37 times with 8 left over

37 8/10 which simplifies to 37 4/5

37 4/5 miles per hour
