There are several information's already given in the question. Based on the information's provided, the answer can be easily deduced.

Distance covered by the hang glider = 303 miles

Time taken by the hang glider for covering the distance = 8 1/2 hour

= 17/2 hours

Then

Average rate of flight = Distance / Time

= 303 / (17/2) miles per hour

= (303 * 2) / 17 miles/hour

= 606/17 miles/hour

= 35.65 miles/hour

I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
