To begin with you need to find out Jose's distance. His SPEED is 5 miles PER HOUR. After 3 hours the bikers are 63 miles APART.

Solution 63 divided by 5 = 12.6 miles ( in 1 hour)

So you multiply 12.6 (miles) by 3 (hours) = 37.8

Now you have to find Luis distance which is 100.8 miles.

Finally you can find the average by just adding both distances ( 37.8 + 100.8 = 136.6) and divvied it by the amount of hours (3 hours) and you get you're Answer = 46.2
