Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for speed is distance divided by time.

We were given that Ashley drove 112 miles in 2 hours.

Using the formula, we get:

Speed = Distance/Time = 112 miles / 2 hours = 56 mph

Therefore, the best choice is C) 56 mph. The average speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. 
Average speed = distance ÷ time 
= 112 miles ÷ 2 hours 
= 56 mph
