Answer:

13.7 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A snowmobile travels 32 miles in \(2\frac{1}{3}\) hours.

First we convert \(2\frac{1}{3}\) hours to decimal form.

\(2\frac{1}{3}\) hours

= \(\frac{7}{3}\)  

= 2.33 hours

speed = \(\frac{distance}{time}\)

s = \(\frac{32}{2.33}\)

 = 13.733  ≈  13.7 miles per hour.

The average speed of the snowmobile 13.7 miles per hour.
