Answer 1

Answer:

74 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the total time

A sailboat started his journey at 6:30 am and reached his destination at 11:45 pm

so

from 6:30 am to 12:00 pm ----> there are 5 hours + 30 minutes=5.5 hours

from 12:00 pm to 11:45 pm ----> there are 11 hours + 45 minutes=11.75 hours

The total time is

5.5+11.75=17.25 hours

step 2

Find the average speed

we know that

The average speed is equal to divide the total distance by the total time

$speed=\frac{1,276.5}{17.25}= 74\ mph$
