Answer 1

Answer: 50 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of the car will be gotten by using the formula:

= Distance/Time

where,

Distance = 65 miles

Time = 14:48 - 13:30 = 1:18 hours = 1 hour 18 minutes = 1 18/60 = 1.3 hours

Speed = Distance / Time

= 65 miles / 1.3 hours

= 50 miles per hour
