Answer:

I'm not to sure but I think it's A, 38.4 mph. By the way are you from Bay doing this for spring break math hw?

Step-by-step explanation:

12/3.75 is 3.2; 3.2*12 is 38.4. do 12/3.75 meaning 3.2 miles every hour multiplied by 12 to get 38.4 miles.

By using the given scale map, we will see that the average speed is 9.6 miles per hour.

How yo find the average speed?

We define average speed as the quotient between the distance traveled and the time in which that distance is traveled.

To get the distance, we need to measure that bar and use the given scale.

On the image, it measures 3/8 inches, and each eight of an inch represents 12 miles, then the real distance is:

3*12 mi = 36 miles.

And the time in which this distance is traveled is:

T = 3 + 3/4 hours = 3.75 hours.

Then the average speed will be:

S = (36 mi)/(3.75 h) = 9.6 mph
