$color(indigo)("Average of speed of Andy in " 4^(th) " hour =60 " mph"$

$"Dist. travelled by Andy in four hours " = 4 * 45 = 180 " miles"$

$"Dist. travelled in first 3 hrs " = 3 * 40 = 120 " mile"$

$:. "Dist. travelled in " 4^(th) " hour " = 180 - 120 = 60 " miles"$

$color(indigo)("Average of speed of Andy in " 4^(th) " hour =60 " mph"$
