    Average speed = 87.71 Miles/hour

    Explanation:

    The section of my journey while driving is divided ino two.

    First section.

    Distance covered = 600 miles

    Time taken = 6 hours

    Velocity or speed = distance/time

    Speed = 600/6

    Speed = 100 Miles/hour

    Section two.

    Distance traveled = 14 miles

    Time taken = one hour (because total time is 8 hours, first section is 6 hours, I spent one hour eating lunch, so it's remaining one hour for the 14 miles)

    Speed = 14/1

    Speed = 14 miles/hour

    But average speed is total distance divided by total time taken.

    Avg speed = 614 miles/7 hours

    Avg speed = 87.71 Miles/hour
