1. **State the problem:** Don, Nicole, and Todd complete a 39.1-mile bicycle relay race in 2.06 hours. We need to find their average speed in miles per hour (mi/hr).
2. **Formula:** Average speed is calculated by dividing total distance by total time:
$$\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}$$
3. **Apply the formula:**
$$\text{Average speed} = \frac{39.1}{2.06}$$
4. **Calculate the division:**
$$\frac{39.1}{2.06} = \frac{\cancel{39.1}}{\cancel{2.06}} \approx 18.97$$
5. **Round the result:**
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the average speed is:
$$19.0 \text{ mi/hr}$$
6. **Answer:** The average speed of the team is 19.0 mi/hr.
