Answer:

[tex]68\ miles\ per\ hour[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

To find out the average speed or unit rate, divide the total distance by the total time

Let

x -----> the distance in miles

y ----> the time in hours

so

The average speed is x/y

substitute the values

[tex]\frac{479}{7}\ \frac{miles}{hours}=68\ miles\ per\ hour[/tex]
