Samuel Hart · Answer 1

55 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

average speed = initial speed+final speed/2 = 50+60/2=110/2=55miles per hour

Alec Pena · Answer 2

You would find the arithmetic mean of this data, which is (50+60) / 2. First, add the two values in the parentheses to get 110/2, then divide to get 55 mph.
