To calculate the average speed in kilometers per hour, divide the total distance covered by the time taken.
Time taken in hours = 14 hours + (20 minutes / 60) hours
= 14 hours + (1/3) hours
= 14.33 hours
Average speed = Total distance / Time taken
= 1420 kilometers / 14.33 hours
≈ 99.13 kilometers per hour
Therefore, the average speed at which they drove was approximately 99.13 kilometers per hour.
