79.38 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

average speed =  miles covered / hours

=  79.38

Answer 2

Answer:    79.38 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Distance covered by rally car race course = 515.97 miles

Time taken to complete the course by winning car = 6.5 hours

The average speed of the winning car = ( Distance covered by rally car race course) ÷  (Time taken to complete the course by winning car)

= (515.97)÷ (6.5) miles per hour

= 79.38 miles per hour

Hence, the average speed of the winning car =  79.38 miles per hour.
