Solution:

To know that who drove with an average speed of 47 miles per hour, we will have to find speed of each rider by using speed and distance formula:-

$Speed=\frac{Diatance}{Time}$

         $\frac{315}{7} =45\ miles \ per\ hour$

For Alisha

$Speed=\frac{Diatance}{Time}$

         $=\frac{235}{5} =47\ miles\ per\ hour$

For Joanne

$Speed=\frac{Diatance}{Time}$

         $=\frac{414}{9} =46\ miles\ per\ hour$
