Answer:
8 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for average speed is:
[tex]average\ speed=\frac{total\ distance}{total\ time}[/tex]
Let's start by finding the distance for each animal:
[tex]d=st\\d=3h*10\frac{m}{h}\\d=30m[/tex]
[tex]d=st\\d=1h*2\frac{m}{h}\\d=2m[/tex]
Now, we can find the average speed:
[tex]average \ speed=\frac{30mi+2mi}{3hr+1hr}=\frac{32mi}{4hr}=8\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]
8 mph
