Answer:

The average speed per minute of the car is :

d. 0.875\(\frac{mi}{min}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed tells you the speed of an object over time, it can be expressed as:

\(A_{s}=\frac{Distance}{Time}\)

As the car travels 70 miles in 80 minutes, we can replace values in the equation:

Distance = 70 miles

Time = 80 minutes

\(A_{s}=\frac{Distance}{Time}\)

\(A_{s}=\frac{70miles}{80minutes}\)

\(A_{s}=0.875\frac{mi}{min}\)
