52 i think
117 divide by 2.25 is 52
To find the average speed, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
In this case, your brother traveled 117 miles in 2.25 hours.
To calculate the average speed, we divide the distance (117 miles) by the time (2.25 hours):
Average Speed = 117 miles / 2.25 hours
To calculate the division, simply divide the numerator (117) by the denominator (2.25):
Average Speed = 117 / 2.25 ≈ 52
Therefore, your brother's average speed was approximately 52 miles per hour (mph).
