Thanks so much!
To find the average speed of the car, you need to determine the total distance traveled and divide it by the time taken.
In this case, the car traveled from mile marker 10 to mile marker 115, covering a total distance of 115 - 10 = 105 miles.
The time taken is given as 1.75 hours.
To find the average speed, divide the total distance (105 miles) by the time taken (1.75 hours):
Average Speed = Total Distance / Time Taken
Average Speed = 105 miles / 1.75 hours
Calculating this gives us an average speed of:
Average Speed = 60 mph
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 60 mph.
