Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Their average speed while driving is ...

speed = distance / time

= (270 mi)/((3 + 1.5) h) = 60 mi/h

The Johnson family averaged 60 mph <em>while driving</em>.

__

Their average speed for the trip is unknown, because we don't know how long the lunch stop was.
