Answer:

17.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

time takent= 3.5hours

distance = 60.9miles

the average speed is given as

Average speed= distance/time

Average speed= 60.9/3.5

Average speed= 17.4mph

Step two:

we are told that the speed was actually maintained, so we used the previous value obatained for the following computation

For a time taken as 1 hour, the distance will be

distance= average speed * time

distance= 17.4*1

distance= 17.4 miles
