Answer:
Average speed = 40 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed can be calculated by using the formula
Speed = Distance ÷Time
Given Distance covered = [tex]26\frac{2}{3} =\frac{80}{3}[/tex] miles.
Time =[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] hours .
Substituting the values of distance and time we have :
Average speed = [tex]\frac{\frac{80}{3} }{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{80}{3} .\frac{3}{2} =40[/tex] miles per hour.
