Average speed = Didtance%2FTime.

Distance = 2 1%2F2 miles = 5%2F2 miles.

Time = 3%2F4 of an hour.

Hence, Average speed = %28%285%2F2%29%29%2F%28%283%2F4%29%29 = %285%2A4%29%2F%282%2A3%29 = 20%2F6 miles per hour = 3 2%2F6 miles per hour = 3 1%2F3 miles per hour.

Answer. Average speed is 3 1%2F3 miles per hour.
