Answer: 8.4 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, total distance = 24.5 miles,

Time taken =  175 \text{ minutes} = \frac{175}{60} \text{ hours} =\frac{35}{12} \text{ hours}

Thus,

\text{ The unit rate} = \frac{\text{ Total distance}}{\text{ Time taken}}

=\frac{24.5}{35/12}

=\frac{294}{35}

=8.4\text{ miles per hour}
