Answer 2

Answer:

D.60.86 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solve as a rule of three problem.

We have that the person traveled 426 miles in 7 hours. Each option is in miles/hour, so the problem asks you how many miles the person traveled in 1 hour. So

426 miles - 7 hours

x miles - 1 hour

$7x = 426$

$x = \frac{426}{7}$

$x = 60.86$

So the correct answer is:

D.60.86 miles/hour
