Answer:

v = 1.98 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed to travel one mile is 100 mph

Speed to travel another mile is 1 mph

The formula used to find your average speed is given by :

[tex]v=\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}[/tex]

Putting the values, we get :

[tex]v=\dfrac{2\times 100\times 1}{100+1}[/tex]

v = 1.98 mph

So, yours average speed is 1.98 mph.
