Answer 1

347 / 5.5 But you have to estimate so 348 / 6  which is 58

About 58 mph

Answer 2

Answer:

63.09 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Carlos traveled 347 miles to go to his cousins’ house. It took him about 5.5 hours to drive there.

To Find: average speed in miles per hour.

Solution:

Distance traveled by Carlos to travel to his cousin's house $=347$ $\text{miles}$

time taken by Carlos to reach his cousin's house $=5.5$ $\text{hours}$

Now,

we know that

$\text{speed}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$

putting values in equation

                           $\frac{347}{5.5}$

                           $63.09$ $\text{miles per hour}$

Hence, average speed of carlos is  $63.09$ $\text{miles per hour}$
