Answer:

12 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total distance traveled = 78 miles

Time taken, t = 6 hours

Average speed for first 30 miles = 15 mph

Time taken = distance / speed

Time taken = 30 / 15

Time taken = 2 hours

Average speed for last 48 miles = x

Time taken to travel last 48 miles = (6 - 2) = 4 hours

Average speed for last 48 miles :

Distance traveled / time taken

48 miles / 4 hours

= 12 mph
